What makes this town special?
The city is renowned for its fine sandy beaches and wild coves, among the most beautiful in the department. Bordered by pine forests, they offer a sumptuous setting for idyllic days. All water sports are represented there, including the Polynesian canoe! The walks along the coastal path are a real delight. The Jean-François Jubé trail is a circuit to discover in less than an hour with landscapes of rare beauty.

The guided tour, very lively and original, will delight young and old.
