Rooftops, a concept 100% adopted in the Landes region

Originating in the USA, the rooftop, meaning "roof terrace," refers to the layout of a public establishment such as a hotel or restaurant. On the top floor, the rooftop, transformed into an unusual terrace, welcomes a select few who enjoy a unique setting with the best views of the surrounding environment: the ocean in the Landes region. These trendy spots, usually open from morning to night during peak season or at certain times of day, are perfect for enjoying the invigorating sea air with a 360° view.
