During the summer from Monday to Friday, the Atlantica campsite livens up holidaymakers' children. Finally in the evening, everyone meets up on the bar/restaurant terrace to share convivial moments around themed meals, a show or a concert.
The Pyrénées Atlantiques - a holiday destination par excellence
Atlantica, an exceptional campsite in Saint Jean de Luz, is an ideal resort when staying in the Pyrénées Atlantiques département, one of the most sought-after holiday destinations in France. The French part of the Basque country certainly has countless advantages to appeal to tourists: between the sea, the mountains, culture and gastronomy, tourists can be guaranteed to have an exceptional stay!
Saint Jean de Luz, is one of the finest seaside resorts of the Basque coast, as are Biarritz, Anglet, Bayonne and indeed Hendaye. Saint Jean de Luz has numerous fine sandy beaches, including some which are accessible on foot from the Atlantica campsite. Ideal for idleness and swimming, you can also practise windsurfing. Indeed, Saint Jean de Luz is considered as one of the best spots in France for this particular sport.
Although the Basque coast is one of the major attractions of the Pyrénées Atlantiques, there is no shortage of charm inland, with the département’s villages packed with character and mountainous countryside. Espelette, Ainhoa and even Sare are thus amongst the most beautiful Basque Country villages, as well as Saint Jean Pied de Port, a fortified Pyrenees town, and one of the must-sees for pilgrims on the Road to Compostela.
To marvel at all of these wonders, what better than a walk on the Rhune mountain pass. The leading summit of the Pyrenees, it indeed offers an exceptional view of the Basque Country and its coast. To go there, simply take the tourist train from Sare station, half an hour or so by road from this Saint Jean de Luz campsite.
