Camping La Rochade

As with the site facilities and activities, the range of things to see and do around Camping La Rochade should sort even the keenest traveller types: ask at reception if you want some help in organising your days out. Top picks in the surrounding area include the village of Naujac-sur-Mer just 1.2 kilometres away, for beachy days, coastal path walks and a spot of sea fishing. Other nearby coastal settlements are at Soulac-sur-Mer with the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Notre-Dame-de-la-Fin-des-Terres Basilica; Le Verdon-sur-Mer with the Cordouan lighthouse, and Lacanau, a top spot for surfing. The capital of the Médoc wine growing commune Pauillac is a short drive away (this is good stuff) and a little further afield are the architecture, museums, shops, restaurants and cafés of first-rate Bordeaux. Nature spotters and hikers should have a day out in the Landes de Gascogne Regional Natural Park, with its bird sanctuary on Arcachon Bay.
