Aeroplane

Location:  The Landes, D652, between Biscarrosse and Parentis-en Born

The aerodrome de Biscarrosse-Parentis lies between the D652 and the large Lac de Biscarrosse et Parentis in the Landes. 

On the outskirts of Biscarrosse, on the D652 heading towards Parentis-en-Born, at a turning into the Zone Industrial de Montagnotte, there is this splendid model of a twin propeller aeroplane.




Nodding Donkey

Location: The Landes, D43 between Ychoux and Parentis-en-Born

I think that's what this mechanical model is called.  For oil?  For mining?

A roundabout on the D43 on the way to Parentis-en-Born and Biscarrosse, beyond Ychoux.

There is an un-numbered turning for heavy lorries off the roundabout towards Lue and Labouheyre to the south.
