EuropeFrance8 days / June 2021
Highs & Lows
Best place to surf and see the sunset in France. With a very young and festive atmosphere
We had a lot of rain..
Itinerary Overview
For this trip I absolutely wanted to stay in my native country: the France.
I did 4 days at the Dune du Pilat with my friends who are not surfers and prefer to stay calm and chill. That's why we chose the Dune du Pilat which is perfect for just relaxing.
Then I joined another group of friends of mine for another 4 days in a place where it's more festive and more favourable for surfing: Vielle-Saint-Girons.
Q & A
What would you have changed?
I would have liked more sun and less rain !!
Anything go wrong during the trip?
A mechanical problem with the truck... we hope it won't happen to you!
How was the food?
It is not a typical food but a drink: pastis. An alcoholic drink made from aniseed that is diluted with water. It is emblematic of France and more particularly of the south and of holidays. It is common to accompany a game of pétanque or simply a late summer day with a fresh pastis.
Packing tips?
Really important to camp, even essential in this part of France with all those huge trees : a hammock
Transportation Tips?
We had a truck and it’s super worth it to carrie all the camping stuff and the food… at least you need a huge car.
Lodging
Camping la foret du Pilat Tohapi. Very nice camping and especially very well localized at the bottom of the dune.
Camping Campéole les Tourterelles. Very well locatized as well. And very beautiful at the bottom of the pine trees.
