INTRODUCING LA RIVE
La Rive offers one of the largest indoor and outdoor swimming centres in the Aquitaine area and is a splash-a-minute family paradise not too far from the evocative vineyards of Bordeaux.
Families will find life on the park to be lively, with site-run Kids Clubs for 4-12 year olds. Naturally, one of the main draws will be the swimming complex, which features a lagoon, lazy river, Jacuzzi, kids pool (including a water spray park and fun characters including monkeys, parrots, and snakes), plus a 50 m² rectangular pool, classically shaped.
Around the holiday park, families will find the nearest town is the delightful town of Biscarosse, which is only 7km away and is home to a stunning sandy beach. However, families will also find further afield Arcachon, Dax, and the port city of Bordeaux. The latter is ideal for a day trip to one of France's most famous cities.
REVIEWS
SWIMMING
There’s a brilliant 5,500m² water park at La Rive, which includes 4 outdoor pools and, of course, a wide selection of water slides to try out. The water spray park is particularly popular for the kids, so make a beeline to this one once you arrive! Please note, children under 4 need to be accompanied by an adult on all slides and the river.
There’s also a spa, which is open between April and August, for over 18s. This features a Jacuzzi, balneo treatments, pedicures, and the ubiquitous sauna.
