MIMIZAN

 

 

The Atlantic coast from the Gironde estuary north of Bordeaux to the Spanish border at Hendaye in the Basque Country is one long sandy beach where the ocean rollers finally crash to rest.

The hinterland is thick pine forest broken only by charming villages and little lakes.

 

Mimizan is south of the Arcachon Basin with the town itself set back from the coast a couple of kilometres. Mimizan-Plage (where our residence is located) is right on the ocean.

It's a series of laneways, hidden behind the sand-dunes, where one can enjoy the cafés and restaurants in an intimate atmosphere. The beach itself is unspoilt with literally miles of unbroken sandy strand stretching off to the horizon.

 

Leisure : Mountain bike renting, horse-riding, 6-hole golf, hiking (40km of footpaths), watersports (surf, body board,…), tennis courts, archery, paragliding, fishing, kayak, sailing, adventure park, quad and paintball,…
