Morcenx-la-Nouvelle: Arjuzanx-Les Orgues des Landes
Among the places of Nouvelle-Aquitaine, Morcenx-la-Nouvelle stands out for its position within the vast Forêt des Landes, a pine-dominated woodland that shapes much of southwestern France. The commune lies in the Landes department, on the broad sandy plain between the Atlantic coast and the interior of Gascony. Managed pine stands, clearings and wet ground define the local terrain rather than steep relief, giving the settlement a distinctly wooded character. Morcenx-la-Nouvelle was created in 2019 through the merger of Morcenx and four neighbouring communes. Morcenx station, on the Bordeaux–Irun railway, has long linked this inland Landes community with the wider southwest. The Landes de Gascogne Regional Natural Park reflects the importance of the region’s forest and wetlands.
