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: On the plus side, the interpreter I eventually made after the challenge is cool™ and iterative™ (no call stack limit) and does IO right™.
gollark: Wait, there are only three groups doing it?
gollark: Me and palaiologos settled on JS, which was *arguably* the cause of us spending 40 minutes trying to debug a weird bug.
gollark: What did you program your interpretron™ in?
gollark: Congratulations on successfully eventing the event!
