REGION OF AQUITAINE : CÔTE LANDAISE
The Côte Landaise stretches from the Dune de Pyla to the Adour estuary, a natural playground of ocean beach, forest trails, shimmering lakes, interspersed with family-friendly resorts (eg Biscarosse, Mimizan and Moliets) and all-year-round towns such as Capbreton, Soustons and Europe's undisputed surf capital, Hossegor. Every watersport imaginable, cycle and walking trails, golf, horse-riding, are all widely available. Vineyards are an easy day-trip away. Landais and Gascon cultures mingled, towards the north with Bordelais cuisine and to the south, with Basque and Spanish influences, make for varied local menus. The natural environment, range of activities and, of course, exceptional beaches, make the Côte Landaise a fantastic holiday destination.
