Glisten Camping at Col d'Ibardin

France’s south-west corner enjoys a lovely warm average summer temperature – often in the mid-twenties – but the Atlantic is close enough to mean a pleasant breeze will help avoid too much humidity. The whole Pays Basques offers a great blend of vibrant cities, beautiful beaches, pine forests, traditional villages, towering mountains, contemporary culture and proudly held ancient traditions. There are plenty of brilliant places to see within a short distance of the campsite: places to please the broadest range of ages and appetites! Beaches From challenging, world-class surfing to sheltered waters in family-friendly coves, there are busy, high-summer hangouts and away-from-it-all stretches that go on for miles close by. All kinds of beaches for all kinds of people. Culture They do things differently in the Basque Country, whether it’s food, sports, language or even their villages, this part of north-east Spain and south-west France is as unique as it is vibrant. Ten minutes from the site is the beautiful St Jean De Luz. The vibrant cities of San Sebastian and Biarritz are also only 20 minutes from the site in opposite directions. Cycling Pottering about, powering up the Pyrenees with a green jersey in mind, or tackling pine-forest trails: cycling of all kinds can be found in the Basque Country. Walking/hiking Whether you've got your eye on a distant peak or a riverside stroll to a picnic spot, the whole area is rich with eye-catching opportunities to put one foot in front of the other.
