MARCH & APRIL 2026 AGENDA

CULTURAL EVENTS IN THE LANDES, THE BASQUE COUNTRY (FRANCE & SPAIN) AND THE PYRENEES

Living in South-West France is much more than simply owning a home: it means enjoying a region rich in culture, heritage, and lifestyle.

At the heart of the Landes, the Basque Country, and the Pyrenees, spring 2026 promises to be particularly vibrant.

At Maisons du Sud-Ouest, we are convinced that the attractiveness of a property is also linked to the quality of life that surrounds it.
