The west Atlantic coast is perhaps one of the undiscovered gems of France. As most Brits flock to the Côte d'Azur and stay at Nice or Cannes, there are the savvy few that head to the west coast and enjoy the long stretches of golden sandy beach, perfect for family holidays in the sun.
Stretching from southern Brittany to the Arcachon basin via the Basque Country, the Atlantic coast has a beautiful coastline with lovely summer temperatures and Siblu offers some fantastic holiday parks that suit families and couples.
What is there to do on the Atlantic coast

Walk the coast
Enjoy the soft rolling surf of the Vendée coasts, to the hustle and bustle of the Landes coasts and the picturesque charm of the Breton coasts. The largest French coastline has so much to offer.

Fantastic beaches
If you love your water sports, you'll love the French Atlantic coast. In the Basque Country, you can practice surfing, whilst the Vendée is perfect for windsurfing. The Breton beaches are good for snorkelling and discovering the many rock pools.

Great for family holidays in France
The French Atlantic coast is great for families. The north provides relaxing beaches, camping in Brittany is great for discovering coves and swimming in calm waters, whilst the more lively sea in the Vendee and Charente Maritime offer opportunities for surfing and bodyboarding. In addition, our numerous campsites near the Atlantic coast offer Free Children's Clubs and activities for young and old.

Watersports on the Atlantic coast
There's plenty to do on the French Atlantic coast from bike rides along fantastic family-friendly cycle paths, to boat trips in the Gulf of Morbihan, perhaps an introduction to surfing in Hossegor, wine tasting in Bordeaux, climbing the Pilat dune.
