Saint-Vincent-de-Paul is a commune in the Landes department in Nouvelle-Aquitaine in southwestern France.[3]

The village was formerly called Pouy. It was renamed in 1828 after Saint Vincent de Paul, who was born there.[4][5] Tourists can visit his parents' home and learn about his work in the "Berceau", only a few miles (several km) from Dax.
