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.

Strange "Spider"

Location: Landes, D824, entrance to Dax ring road coming from Mont de Marsan

It isn't a spider, because it only has six legs. And what are the three phallic symbols in the middle all about?

And I thought the red "D" with the swirl might be the logo for Dax, but it doesn't seem to be.

Then round the other side of the roundabout there are about a dozen painted posts.

All to be found on the ring road as you approach Dax from Mont de Marsan in the Landes.
