Geography
The commune is situated in the north of the department of Landes. The river Gorgue passes through the village and this river is the source of the lake. It would have originally flowed into the Atlantic Ocean, but the mouth of the river was blocked over the centuries by sand dunes on the coast and thus creating the lake and many others along Landes' Atlantic Coast. The lake has covered previous sitings of a town many centuries ago.

gollark: I wonder if I can safely *receive* emails just by hosting a simple SMTP server without any of the complex antispam etc. stuff for outbound emails.
gollark: Just use node.js.
gollark: I just spent 25 minutes messing with `ip addr`, browser extensions, and SSH tunnelling for some reason, and I forgot what that reason actually was.
gollark: This is an obvious lie. Jakob, do NOT believe them.
gollark: I have a book which, among other things, explains this as an "optimal stopping problem".
