| | DAX - the premier thermal spa town in France in the Landes |
 | | Dax, a city whose wide open sky welcomes its visitors after their long journey through the forest of the Landes. |
 | | The roads of Dax, for reasons now known only to them, all unfailingly lead to the "Fontaine Chaude" constructed by the Romans. |
 | | Right up to the beginning of the century, Dax was a port, a port which witnessed the comings and goings of the flat bottomed boats (the "Galupes"), packed high with the wines of Chalosse, Tursan and Jurançon, barrels of Armagnac, resin, wax and timber from the Landes forest. |
