  • Shaded pitches a five-minute drive from Saint-Martin-de-Seignanx
  • Bay of Biscay beaches 15 minutes’ drive; Biarritz half an hour
  • Indoor and outdoor pools; playground and kids’ club; launderette
Fancy exploring the French Basque coast? Maybe even popping across the border into Spain for some pintxos one day? Consider staying at Camping Lou P’tit Poun, a family-friendly site a five-minute drive from the lively market town of Saint-Martin-de-Seignanx, in the south-west corner of the Landes department. In addition to shaded extra-large pitches (and some XXLs, too), the site comes with a toilet block and showers (including facilities for disabled guests), a washing-up area and a launderette. There’s also plenty to keep the children entertained – from a well-equipped play area to a morning kids’ club where they can indulge in a spot of dough modelling or drawing and make new friends. While the adults relax on a poolside lounger with a drink from the bar, younger children can spend the day paddling around in a shallow lagoon. And if the weather’s playing up, the action can move to the indoor pool, where there are also spa areas with soothing water jets. Fancy getting a bit more active? You can hire a bike on site and explore the local area, either following the course of the Adour river on the dedicated (and largely flat) track (15 minutes by bike), or perhaps ending up at the Réserve Naturelle de Lesgau (25 minutes by bike), a watery landscape inhabited by ducks, cranes and peregrine falcons. Watersports enthusiasts will not want to miss out on the strong wave action at Plage du métro (15 minutes’ drive; you can also go by bus, which stops 50 metres from the site) and the other sandy beaches on the Bay of Biscay. Be sure to stay until late afternoon, when you will be treated to quite a spectacular sunset.

Local attractions

Stretching on the Adour river, the medieval town of Bayonne (20 minutes’ drive) is known for its large botanical garden, enclosed within the ancient fortifications and with a distinct Japanese flavour (think vermilion bridges and koi ponds). The Musée Basque has displays on the local culture, language and traditions. The wetlands at the Réserve Naturelle Nationale du Marais d’Orx (half an hour) attract all sorts of migratory birds, from herons to harriers. There are more winged creatures (flamingoes and colourful parrots) at Zoo Labenne (20 minutes), which is also home to wolves, porcupines and meerkats. The elegant coastal resort of Biarritz (half an hour) is well worth a visit for its beaches and a rugged promontory culminating in the Rocher de la Vierge, a rocky islet accessed by a hanging bridge. Shark, octopus and tropical fish are among the residents at the city aquarium.
