A romantic waterside mediaeval town with fabulous seafood restaurants for an easy French fix.
Stroll hand-in-hand
As the town is compact, you can park your car and forget about it during your stay – you won’t need it. You can simply stroll or, if you prefer, hire a bike and explore the boardwalk, dykes and surrounding areas that way – there are plenty of cycle paths. Guided nature walks and kayaking trips are also available during which you can see the varied bird life and, if you are lucky, some of France’s largest colony of seals.
Or, if you prefer, you can simply relax and enjoy the views. You might like to cross the lock to the North dyke and watch the sun set over the water from the bench by the lighthouse, away from the bustle of the main street, or enjoy an apero at La Buvette de la Plage overlooking the town beach as the sun goes down. Just the two of you.
