As part of the Basque-Landes evenings on Tuesday evenings, a small traditional market brings together a small number of producers, craftspeople and designers from the Landes region. They all showcase local crafts and produce. From 7.30pm, there's a country-style meal on site, with grilled meats, taloas (corn cakes with lots of filling) and a refreshment bar. The evening will be followed by a Basque pelota show at 9pm. Tourist Office bookings: 05 58 48 56 58.

Friday: the Moliets-plage night market

On Fridays, another night market takes place in the Place de Moliets. No fewer than 60 stallholders from all walks of life unpack their stalls in the town centre. Costume jewellery, bags, clothes, leather goods, Landes pine-scented candles and other summer must-haves are all on display at the Moliets stalls. The market is very lively and colourful, with the aisles teeming with people. If you haven't already done so, this is another chance to bring home a little holiday souvenir, a bracelet, a little summer dress or an elegant beach bag.
