The "Basco Landais" style"
Characteristic of the resort, the "Basco Landaise" villa is generally located in a large park. The house has the shape of a parallelepiped like in the Basque houses of Labourdine. The base is made of stone masonry topped by a wall covered with white plaster. The attic is topped by an overhanging roof with coloured beams, often connected with decorative bricks arranged in "fern leaves" of Landes influence. There are often large openings, loggias and sunny terraces. Some villas have magnificent bas-reliefs or stained glass windows.
