We
offer 3, 4 and 5 bedroom villas, each with private pool, at Lacanau-Océan.
All are close to Lacanau's Ardilouse golf course
- a 5,926m, par 72 course that winds through the forest - and are
within cycling distance of the Lac de Lacanau and the long, sandy
beaches of Lacanau-Océan.
The villas are contemporary in style - spacious,
light, well-furnished and well-equipped and offer a generous amount
of outdoor space, including decked terrace overlooking each villa's
swimming pool.
With golf, watersports, cycling, walks and a wonderfully natural
environment on your doorstep, Lacanau is perfect
for families seeking an active seaside and sporty
holiday. They are also well-suited of course for groups
of golfers particularly outside July and August when prices
are lower and green fee discounts are possible.
They would be less suitable if you are seeking
rural and rustic French tradition - we suggest browsing our Villas & Cottages
range for such properties.
Three kinds of villa are available at Lacanau-Océan, all
with private pool:
•
Atlantic Green - higher quality 3 or 4 bed villas:

• Eden Parc
- good quality 2, 3, 4 or 5 bed villas with pool: more

About
Lacanau
Lacanau
Tourist Office
Lacanau-Océan
is the pre-eminent sea-side town of the Médoc
Bleu, an area noted for a wide variety of activities and attractions:
Ocean beaches: wide, sandy Atlantic beaches are
long enough that you can always find a quiet spot to yourself even
in high summer just a short way away form the centre of town.
Cycling and hiking trails: over 120 kms of safe cycle tracks
lead through the forests up and down this stretch of coast, from
Carcans-Maubuisson north of Lacanau, all the way, ultimately, to
the Pointe de Cap Ferret to the south. Several local bike hire shops.
Horse-riding: Lacanau counts two major equestrian centres
each offering tuition and trails through the local forests.
Lake watersports: sailing, windsurfing, water-skiing
and kayaking at the local lakes.
The local lakes are a great opportunity
for whiling away the hours in tranquility, listening to the water
lapping the sandy shores. The surrounding forest are perfect for
picnics and rambling. The lake beach at Moutchic is
popular, but Longarisse is the one the locals go
to!
Surfing & body-boarding : excellent waves
at Lacanau-Ocean, which every August hosts an edition of the world
professional championship. Local surf clubs offer tuition for all
levels and ages, plus board hire.
Also available to try locally: fishing, horse-riding,
tennis, go-karting quad-biking and adventure park.

Discover
the Médoc
Bleu region of Aquitaine
Lacanau is
an excellent base for discovering the Médoc,
bassin d'Arcachon and Bordeaux and its environs. As well as the
dunes, forests, lakes and ocean of the Médoc
Bleu, there is the outstanding natural beauty of the bassin d'Arcachon
or the vineyards and heritage of the Médoc
Rouge (the wine producing part of the Médoc,
so named for obvious reasons!) and on into the Bordeaux region.
It's all in easy reach.
Not
much further inland the forests, lakes and oceans are gradually
replaced by the famous vines of the 'médoc rouge' and its
famous appelations of Pauillac and Margaux.
There are many vineyards where you can visit and taste some of the
famous wines. Two very approachable châteaux are the under-rated
(and relatively inexpensive) Château Maucaillou,
a medium-sized, family-run estate in Moulis-en-Médoc; there
is an interesting museum exhibiting some of the history of wine-making.
Or for a very special visit, Château
Giscours in the Margaux region organises tastings of various
vintages of its grand crus classés, hosted by a particularly
engaging, unpretentious and plain-speaking 'oenologue' (Master of
Wine).
Heading south is the nature, wildlife and, above all, oysters
of the bassin d'Arcachon and Presqu'Ile de Cap
Ferret. You can explore the fascinating oyster-farming
villages that run down the bassin coast of the Cap peninsula; Piraillan
is particularly charming. Or head for the tip and climb to the top
of the famous Cap Ferret lighthouse - the views
across the bassin to Arcachon and the Dune de Pyla are breathtaking.
Or climb one of the Atlantic dunes to walk off an early-ish dinner
in one of Cap Ferret village's many bistros and watch the sunset.
Bliss!
Around
the other side of the basin is Arcachon, a popular
French resort; a part of the town known as the Ville d'Hiver (winter
town) is well worth strolling to see the quirky architecture of
its many 19th century villas.
South of Arcachon is the famous Dune du Pyla, the
largest sand dune in Europe, standing at over 100 metres. A journey
to the summit (try it without the staircase provided!) is a must;
sunrise and sunset are the best times.
The
bassin d'Arcachon is also home to wide variety
of birdlife and consequently is a popular birdwatching destination.
In fact, there are birdwatching reserves at nearby Parc
Ornotholiqique du Teich and Ile aux Oiseaux
(Bird Island) in the Bassin which can be visited by boats that depart
from the Arcachon jetties. This is a prime bird habitat -
the Bassin d'Arcachon is so shallow that only 20% of it is submerged
at low tide.
If
you're feeling beached out, Bordeaux
is well under an hour away and is a good option for a day-trip,
whether it’s boutique shopping, sight-seeing or culture. Walking
around the 18th century old town centre (Quartier St. Pierre), you
can begin to imagine the city’s commercial and maritime past.
Medieval gems of the Gironde east of Bordeaux are also wonderful
days out; St Emilion, with its 11th century basilica,
is the best known but can be busy; St Macaire and
La Réole are also enjoyable. Obviously there
are many more chateaux over here but an altogether different
wine experience can be had at Caudalie Vinotherapie Spa,
in the middle of the Château Smith Haut Lafitte, vineyards,
just south of Bordeaux. The spa offers unique beauty treatments
derived from grand cru grapes of the Graves appelation renowned
for their anti-ageing and micro-circulation improving properties
- in short, visitors apparently come out feeling good!
