Autoroute des Landes (since 2014)

  • in Saint-Pierre-d'Irube

The motorway, rather than being a purpose-built route, is an upgrade of the former RN10, which became a full toll road and no longer exists south of Bordeaux. The motorway crosses Les Landes (moorland) as a dual-carriageway.

Route

The A63 connects the border with Spain at Biriatou (close to Hendaye) at the southern edge of the Landes (department) towards Bordeaux which it reaches at junction 15 of rocade).

It is part of the Autoroute des Estuaires and is used by lorries from all over Europe heading to the Iberian Peninsula. In addition, the road is connected at Bayonne with the A64 to Pau, Tarbes and Toulouse.

The northern section has junctions with the A660. [[Image:A63 Biarritz.jpg|thumb|300px|Péage of the Negress with [[Biarritz]]]]
