The Midouze

Mont-de-Marsan is a city blessed with water. As its nickname, “City of Three Rivers,” suggests, it’s a place where three rivers meet. And there’s no better spot to see it for yourself. As you stand on the Human Rights Bridge, you can see two different waterways. The Midou River opposite you and the Douze River, to the left, meet here and become one. Together, they form the Midouze River, flowing right beneath your feet. Back in the day, these waters were used for transporting local produce like Armagnac, grain, honey and wool. Today, the city has transformed these riverbanks into charming promenades, offering scenic views of Mont-de-Marsan in all its natural beauty.
