FR-1057599 Mont-de-Marsan, France

Mont-de-Marsan is a commune and capital of the Landes department in Nouvelle-Aquitaine in southwestern France.

Mont-de-Marsan is a medieval town where the Douze and Andou Rivers meet. It was created from scratch as a walled settlement in the 1100s, and a few fortified houses and scraps of the old walls remain from this time. For hundreds of years Mont-de-Marsan flourished through trade, shipping Armagnac brandy and other regional delights down the Midouze to the Atlantic.

The riverside is lined with stone warehouses and quays . 

This postcard from Joana D. (Postcrossing, October 2018) shows a very picturesque sight of this town.
