Lacanau Ville

Lacanau Ville is a pleasant place, little more than a big village, near the Lac de Lacanau, the second biggest in France and bang in the middle of a vast pine forest. The Avenue du Lac runs between the lake and the town and is about ten minutes walk from each.

The lake has pleasant sandy beaches which are very safe for young people as the water shelves very slowly in most places. The eastern side of the lake is shallow and is therefore excellent for windsurfing and kite-surfing. It is also very unspoilt with the vast majority of the shoreline made up of forest. It is a good place for sailing and there are nice islands to picnic on. More about Lacanau here:

There is also a local riding school who will take you on rides through the forest and along the shoreline.
There is golf at the Golf de Lacanau.
