Our Experts Say
Selected because of its direct access to the beautiful lac
de Léon and its lovely sandy beach. A large family-run
site in the Landes forest which stretches along the banks
of the lake with pretty shrubs and flowering plants that
give it a very rural feel. It has a lively atmosphere with
plenty of organised entertainment suitable for all the
family. The attractive reception area full of flowers and
the huge carpark at the entrance create a relaxed
welcoming atmosphere. Not only is there a great cycle
track into the town, there is also a daily free bus service
in July and August to the beach 6km away. The owners
of the site are justifiably proud of their eco credentials
and have both Clef Verte and Ecolabel awards. As the
site is so long and thin, getting around by bike is highly
recommended.
