Don't forget to explore the area in between your 'Surf France' sessions...The towns of Hossegor and Capbreton are beside each other separated only by the pier and Capbreton port.
Hossegor & Capbreton
Architecture here is a mixture of old and new and all very similar to the Basque style with exposed timbers on the facades. Hossegor (pronounced 'Ossegor') beach promenade is called Front de Mer and is where the main night life can be found with open music and parties often taking over the whole promenade - Rock Food and Dick's Sand Bar are the two main hang outs here and during the summer there is a party every night.
Restaurants are in abundance in Hossegor - by the Front de Mer and closer to the town centre. Hossegor main street is a kilometer off the beach. A large picturesque lake surrounded by pine forest separates the beach from the town. A whole day can be spent wandering in and out of all the top surfing brand shops like Quiksilver, Stussy, Ripcurl, Billabong, Roxy ? you name it, they are all here. The area also has a golf courses in Hossegor and a water park up in Seignosse.
Capbreton's promenade and large pier house a vast array of restaurants serving up delicious food like only the French can!
Biarritz
The World famous town of Biarritz lies just 20 Km?s south. It is a spectacular & luxurious city popular with both tourists and surfers. Biarritz also boasts Cote des Basque - one of the best beginners surf beaches in France.
The stunning rocky coastline is a great place to visit with its "Hotel du Palais" (Imperial summer residence built by Napoleon III in 1854), its sumptuous Casino on the seafront, its congress halls, its golf courses, its international festivals and the "Grande Plage" (main beach). You can always catch a Rugby game too ? Biarritz is the home of the game in France. The club won back-to-back League titles in 2005 and 2006.
San Sebastian
If you can spare a day off from surfing Hossegor then make sure you visit San Sebastian, less than an hours drive across the French boarder and into Spain. It is well worth the trip and gives you the opportunity to surf in Spain, and dine in many of the country's best restaurants. It has fantastic surf beaches right in the centre of town and is considered by many to be Spain?s most beautiful city.
