DISCOVER THE BEACHES and GREENS of the LANDES

Our goal is to offer you the self-catering holiday you are looking for, while introducing you to a true slice of the Landes. The Landes and Soustons are our home. We know where to find the best, no matter what you are looking for. :

• Cycling paths

• Famous and beautiful stone villages or their less frequented neighbours
• The main attractions or hidden and little-known gems

Stay in the Landes – Try some of the excellent local restaurants – Enjoy your meal!

FLEXIBILITY

Do as you wish, if you do not want to go surfing or golfing, you are free to stay at home and relax. And if your partner prefers to do less activity to unwind by the ocean or visit a site, that is also possible..

You can now also hire carbon road bikes, tandems, or electric bikes. If one of you or both of you do not wish to surf or play golf, these options will allow you to have a more enjoyable and easier time. (A rental supplement of €208 for your stay applies – please ask when booking.)

RELAXATION & PLEASURE

You will be able to combine your sports and relaxation activities and fully enjoy your stay in the Landes. There is no need to pack and unpack your bags or change hotels every day, which will save you from logistical complications..

We hope that you will be more than comfortably settled during your stay in our house and its garden.

AT HUMAN SCALE

We do not offer mass tourism stays – you are not just a number! Our groups are small and manageable, with a maximum of 8 people per group. Unlike some tour operators, we do not set a minimum group size, which guarantees that your tour will not be cancelled at the last minute due to a lack of participants..

AN EXCELLENT VALUE FOR MONEY

We strive to offer activities that are fairly priced and provide excellent value for money. If you compare what we offer (accommodation, a 6-night stay, activities, ideal location, meals, etc.), you will see that we compare favourably to others..

We can do this because we do not have to pay intermediaries for hotels, food, bikes, etc. These savings are passed directly on to you to ensure attractive prices..
