Explore the enchanting Aquitaine region of France, a perfect blend of adventure, beauty, and relaxation for families. From surfing the Atlantic waves to cycling through lush forests, this itinerary promises a memorable holiday packed with activities and scenic beauty.
Aquitaine, located in the southwestern part of France, is a region renowned for its diverse landscapes—from the sprawling pine forests of Landes to the picturesque beaches along the Atlantic coast. It's an ideal destination for families seeking a mix of outdoor activities and cultural experiences. The region's proximity to Bordeaux, a city famous for its wine and historic architecture, adds to its appeal as a family holiday spot.
Upon arrival at Bordeaux-Mérignac Airport, a short drive will take you to your accommodation at the Moilets et Maa resort. After settling into your private villa, complete with its own pool, spend the day acquainting yourself with the resort's amenities and enjoying local culinary delights.
Kick off the morning with the first of five surf lessons, an exhilarating start to your holiday. Aquitaine's coast is renowned for its excellent surfing conditions, and according to Surfing France, the region hosts numerous surf schools catering to all skill levels. Post-surfing, indulge in a lunch featuring local specialties before a leisurely evening on the beach or at your villa.
Post-surf, consider a bike ride through one of the many scenic trails or a horseback ride in the Landes forest. These activities not only provide exercise but also a chance to immerse yourself in the natural beauty of Aquitaine. The evening is perfect for relaxation back at your villa.
After your morning surf lesson, choose between golfing at one of the resort's pristine courses or playing tennis. For those seeking a quieter day, paddle boarding or a visit to a nearby national park are excellent alternatives. Each activity allows you to appreciate the region's environment and offers fun for all family members.
With your final surf lesson complete, spend the day sailing on the region's beautiful freshwater lakes. For a touch of romance and culture, sneak away for an afternoon of wine tasting at a local vineyard, a must-do in this renowned wine-producing region.
Use your last full day to relax on the beach, perfect your surf skills, or simply enjoy the villa's amenities. It's a day to unwind and reflect on the adventures of the past week.
Conclude your holiday with a drive back to Bordeaux-Mérignac Airport, filled with memories of a delightful week spent in one of France's most beautiful regions.
