Soorts-Hossegor (''Sòrts e Òssagòr'' in Occitan) is a commune in the Landes department in Aquitaine in south-western France, 20 km (12 miles) north of Biarritz. It is well known as a seaside resort and surfing center, considered as one of the best surfing locales in the world. The city's economy is centered on surfing. ==History== Until 1310, the mouth of the Adour was in the district of Capbreton-Hossegor. When the Vikings attacked the area in 840, they settled immediately in the deserted swamps around the mouth. At that time, the chief of the invaders was Asgeir. Asgeir did not stay in Gascony where Björn, his half-brother, settled, but tried with Pepin II of Aquitaine to conquer Aquitaine between the Garonne and the Loire. Hossegor remained a whale hunting area until the 14th century. Hossegor is a part of the little town of Soorts. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Soorts-Hossegor」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
