The coastline

Discovering the coastline.

What if you took advantage of your stay to discover the legendary Atlantic Coast?

Discover a preserved coastline and “little” corners of paradise: fine sandy beaches of La Rochelle in the Basque Country, Charente islands with authentic charm, the highest dune in Europe, the crystal clear water lakes of the Landes …

Embark on a sea trip towards the Cordouan lighthouse, stroll around the typical squares, try new activities: surfing, paddle, canoeing, diving…
