I found the area round the 'Pyla'and the basin very busy compared to the area round Moutchic and Lacanau. Le Porge is a lovely beach.

What you cannot put in a picture is the fragrant air......the pine forest on a hot day is better than any homeopathic remedy, it is bliss.

le Tedey is the only place I can actually take in the sun and stay cool from the breeze off the water.

The cycling is so leisurely and flat that it is great to see families out together have a wonderful time.
Children can find their cycling confidence in this area..at least if you fall off the sand is a kind landing area.

Have a wonderful time, if you are camping you can go where you want. I cannot imagine the restriction of being stuck in one place for two weeks...nightmare.
Mind you we did pitch 7 times this year but we packed a lot in an so loads.

We have been 'doing' France for 17yrs and still do not tire of the new discoveries and adventures waiting for us.

We have just come back from this area and had a fantastic time. We spent nearly a week at Camping Le Vivier in Biscarrosse plage at that was perfect for us as we wanted to be close to the ocean for bodyboarding. We really liked the area, great for an active holiday (cycling, running, watersports). Whilst the area is not stunningly beautiful and we found it very relaxing. Much preferred it to the Vendee where we stopped for a couple of nights on the way down.

We will definitely be back.
