Things to see and do in the Landes and the Basque Country

South-West France is full of beautiful places, and I may be a little biased, but I think this part of the country is particularly special.

​

Hossegor is sometimes nicknamed “Little California” and having visited California myself, I can see why!

​

But there's much more to this region than its beaches and surfing culture. The Landes and the Basque Country have a strong identity, shaped by their landscapes, traditions, local food and way of life.

​

Our home is ideally located between Hossegor and Capbreton, giving you easy access to a wide variety of places and activities. Depending on your interests, you can:
