Hi Everyone!

We are looking to holiday for a week near disneyland and then a week near biarritz, as we believe its great surf round there. My partner and daughter love bodyboarding!. We are going over to france on the eurotunnel and then leaving via Bilbao. The thing is I'm not sure where to stay, I have found accommodation in Landes near Lake Leon, but the coast looks to say the very least very desolote! Are we better going further south towards Biarritz? Whats the area like round there and is there enough for a family of 4 to do. Whats the centre of Biarritz like, and what are the prices like for drinks / food etc. Does anyone have any photos? Sorry about all the questions but I really want to get this right as its our "Big Summer holiday"! Any advise would be greatly appreciated.

Does anyone know of any good sites for the kids in the area, we might just decide to take our tent!

Cheers everyone!

Hi

we are booked onto Lou Puntaou for 2 weeks from 20th August which is around Lake Leon.The Sunelia site le col vert looks good too! I know that Lou Puntaou have been booked up for a couple of weeks now regarding accommodation in the holidays so I feel that it must be a decent site if it is that much in demand!! Or hoping it is! We have 3 kids and I have looked at the area and there is an ariel adventure park pretty close and a waterpark at Seignosse.Plus of course the dune de pyla for a day out and Bordeaux too so hopefully there will be enough to do also looks at the matthews holiday site forum as they have had quite a few postings on about the area. I know that there is a daily market in Leon too which is walkable from the site. Wherever you end up have fun !!!

A few years ago we stayed here http://www.pavillon-royal.com/pavillon-royal/ It is a lovely campsite and right on the beach. Being on the Atlantic coast they tend to have bigger waves!!! Further North there are lots of campsite with access to some beautiful Atlantic beaches, miles upon miles of sand. I don't understand what you mean by desolate? Surely that is the beauty of this part of France? What do you actually want to do beyong enjoying the beaches, eating good food and enjoying a glass or two of the local wine? Sounds like heaven to me!!!
