Airotel de l’Ocean****
The south west coast of France is beautiful. Long beaches of fine sand divide the Atlantic from the dark green of the forests, which stretch down the coast in many areas, providing lovely shaded picnic spots for a hot afternoon.

The ‘Ville’ of Lacanau Ocean abounds with restaurants, bistros, brasseries, bars and cafes. Yes, there is certainly plenty of surf, but there is also an area reserved only for swimming, which is surveyed. Locally known as ‘Surf City’, Lacanau Ocean always attracts a large number of enthusiastic surfers - experts and learners. Many young surfers stay on the site during July and August bringing a lively, French, sporting atmosphere. And there are the lakes - superb stretches of water edged by pine forests interspersed with sandy beaches, perfect for windsurfing and sailing.

The site is attractively laid out, with the sandy emplacements set out in and amongst the shade of the pine trees.

The animateur and the clubs for children operate in July and August. Evening entertainments are also organised throughout July and August.
