Pretty fruit salad

Arriving at the campsite around 1pm, the restaurant was waiting for you! As the accommodation wasn’t available until 4pm, it was the perfect place to wait.

 

The local aperitif, the assiette landaise and the fresh fruit salad for dessert won over your three weekend companions. Now everyone can’t wait to discover the accommodation Philippe has booked. He’s been telling you all about it!

Learning about the ocean to better protect it

Even if it wasn’t easy, everyone loved the moment and Nathalie even managed to stand up on her board several times!

 

This afternoon’s outing is a little quieter, as you visit the Cité de l’Océan in Biarritz to learn more about its secrets and protection. “Take a look! They’ve even got a 4D cinema, are you tempted?”

What could be better than an enthusiast to show you around?

The two boys come back absolutely delighted with their introduction to Basque pelota!
