In the Basque Country and Les Landes, nature is everywhere—inescapable and breathtaking. To the south rise the mountains, while the Atlantic Ocean stretches endlessly to the west. Inland, and especially to the north, lies one of France’s largest forested areas: the Landes forest. In many places, it is possible to be both close to the coastline and just moments from the forest.
This unique setting offers endless opportunities for fresh-air walks, delighting lovers of peace, wide-open spaces and outdoor activities alike.
In this magnificent South West region, the ocean invites you to surf—from Seignosse to Saint-Jean-de-Luz, via Hossegor, Biarritz and Bidart—while the forest promises hours of cycling through nature, or evenings spent observing wildlife under the stars.
Holiday homes and villas are plentiful, offering the perfect balance between forest-edge tranquillity and easy access to everything the region has to offer.
