Carcans is a commune located in the Gironde department in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region of southwestern France. The town is situated between the largest freshwater lake in France, Lake Carcans-Hourtin, and the Atlantic Ocean. This unique geographical position has shaped its cultural and historical development.

The area has been inhabited since ancient times, with archaeological findings suggesting human presence dating back to the Gallo-Roman period. Today, Carcans consists of three main areas: Carcans-Ville (the historic village), Carcans-Plage (the beach resort), and Maubuisson (the lakeside resort).

The local culture reflects both its maritime heritage and its forest traditions, as the commune is part of the vast Landes forest. The region maintains its cultural identity through local festivals and traditional events that celebrate its natural heritage and maritime history.
