Location description
Benesse Maremne is minutes from the beaches and golf courses of Hossegor, Capbreton and Seignosse. A little further up the road you have the famous old spa town of Dax which dates back to Roman times and in the other direction the beautiful Catherdal city of Bayonne, famous for Chocolate. Biarritz and Anglet are by Bayonne and then into the mountains the stunning Basque country. Spain is just over an hours drive from us and San Sebastian is well worth a visit, if nothing else to try the great tapas! Bordeaux and the famous wine growing areas surrounding here are less than 2 hours away and in land it is easy to loose hours enjoying the rural French country side. This whole area of France is unique and very beautiful. There is something for everyone.
Other activities
The surf in this area of France is world famous and is the best in Europe. For those looking for a more relaxed beach holiday, the beaches are groomed daily. The beaches are beautiful and golden and this coast line is some of the best in the world.
Local events
In summer, each village/town in France has a fete, so every week there is always someone to go and get involved in French fun. There are weekly markets and both golf and surf competitions going on to get involved with. There is also the local sport of Pelota Basque to either watch or try, known as the fastest ball sport in the world, very exciting! Rugby is a religion in these parts and there is often the chance to go and watch a game.
Tourist attractions
The fantastic and delightful charm of the Landes and Basque country.
