The chapel on the dune

THE CHAPEL ON THE DUNE… A MUST-SEE PLACE IN LABENNE

Come and discover this little treasure of the Landes south coast near us

The Sainte-Thérèse chapel was inaugurated on December 1, 1932.

Built on the dunes, in Labenne-Océan , the chapel is located a few meters from the Hélio-Marin center and the beach.

The Germans occupied the chapel during the Second World War and fled with the bell. After the war a new bell was installed in memory of a soldier who died in combat. Its founder, Jules Bouville, rests there with his family.

Damaged by bad weather and acts of vandalism, the Conservatoire du Littoral undertook a restoration which was completed in 2019. It is not possible to visit the interior.

By climbing the dune next to the chapel, you will have a 360° view : the chapel, the pine forests and the ocean as far as the eye can see . On your right, you can see Capbreton and Hossegor. And on the left the Pyrenees chain.
