The Arjunzax site reopened in spring 2015. Two years later, this exceptional area was awarded the Qualité Tourisme label. It should be noted that Arjunzax attracts over 110,000 tourists each year. After having been a lignite mine in the past, Arjunzax was completely transformed as part of the ecological rehabilitation it underwent.

It should be noted that this natural area extends over several communes in addition to Arjunzax. These include Morcenx-la-Nouvelle, Villenave, and Rion-des-Landes. Although its total area is 2,679 hectares, only 400 hectares are accessible for free exploration.

Upon arriving at Arjunzax, you’ll first be struck by an imposing structure: it’s the Site House.
