The house is situated south of Arcachon, in the beautiful Landes forest, 12 mins from sea and 300m from a lake with sandy shores. It has been architecturally designed to a high French standard in a typically French style with tiled floors on the ground floors and with carpets upstairs. The house is simply furnished in natural pine to complement the exposed pine beam ceilings. As the house was furnished for our own use practically all the furniture and fittings were new for the completion and have been carefully looked after by our guests ever since.

The lake has numerous sandy beaches with ample shady parking. During the summer months, it has an average temperature of 20ºC plus. The shallow perimeter is a very safe place for small children. The long sandy Atlantic beaches bordered by the pine forests provide world-class surfing.

This is a French holiday area famous for wines and seafood and is largely undiscovered by the British. Walk or cycle along special tracks in the forest to lakes or sea. Horse riding, sailing, windsurfing, kite surfing, golf and many more sports are available locally.

Local village markets, good restaurants, classic vineyards, historic Bordeaux and Bastide towns are all within easy reach. Not far south are the Pyrénées and Spain.

The house has an open plan lounge/dining area and fully equipped kitchen. Enclosed private garden with patio furniture and barbecue.

Wonderful for early or late holidays as well as high season
