Ah, the South-West! Surfers, the sun, Basque songs… and the beaches! Whether you go to Biarritz, Hossegor or Arcachon, you will surely want to cool off on hot summer days. The South-West is renowned for its waves which can sometimes be impressive. If you are going with your family, it is therefore preferable to opt for beaches suitable for young children. The beaches of Capbreton are particularly recommended for families with children: they are supervised all summer and the atmosphere is very relaxed. Are you going further north? Lette Blanche beach is just as secure. It is supervised all summer, is accessible by stroller and has well-shaded parking: ideal for children!
