Lacanau 4 Sun Lacanau Ocean

Overview

At a Glance

View less

Aquitaine's soft and attractive countryside is all warm, wooded valleys and sun-dappled villages. At the coast, the pulse quickens slightly, with surfing, cycle tracks and swimming – in the sea, or the sheltered freshwater lake at Lacanau - on offer. You're never far from a vineyard here, too. Take a bottle back to your holiday home – a wood clad cottage or apartment near the relaxing pool. 14 kilometres of fine, golden sand means that, even in high season, Lacanau's beach has a generous amount of space to go around. Ocean, lake and forest combine to offer plenty of healthy, outdoor pursuits – whether you want to try kitesurfing (hold on tight, or you could end up in America!), horseriding or golfing – and, in Lacanau, the gentler arts of shopping, eating and socialising are practised with equal enthusiasm. Within its core of pretty whitewashed, red-tiled buildings, Lacanau hosts a surprisingly vibrant array of casinos, nightclubs and bars to keep you active until the early hours.
