Find a holiday
One of the sunniest climates in France, and a coastline that’s virtually one endless beach. Inland, there are scented pine forests and charming countryside scattered with picturesque villages and renaissance towns. A stunning backdrop to a diverse choice of activities and attractions.
Located in western France right by the coast, there are many tourism hotspots to consider beyond the traditional (and always stunning) beaches, such many natural parks, churches, and restaurants. It's a rustic and traditional region of France which is sure to provide families with a wonderful and charming holiday.
