A countryside holiday in Parentis en Born
Laid out in the heart of the forest, the Le Pipiou campsite offers campers, caravanners and camper van enthusiasts the chance to set up on wooded and spacious pitches, designated by hedges. Should you opt for the comfort of a mobile home, highly integrated into the campsite’s wooded countryside, choose between the “Essentiel”, “Bien-Etre” or “Sérénité” designs, the latter offering maximum comfort, with two or three bedrooms and two bathrooms.
If you wish to relax peacefully by the water, drop your kids off at the children’s club open 5 days a week for those aged 4 to 14. On the programme, there are leisure and sports activities, creative workshops, archery, climbing and circus shows. You’ll also find a play area by the beach to the greatest delight of very young holidaymakers! Come the evening, shows, concerts, magic shows, karaoke and dance evenings take place.
Relaxing and having fun on the campsite in the Landes department
On Le Pipiou, everything has been designed to make your life easier and meet your needs. There is a grocery here offering bread, fruit and vegetables, local produce and essentials. The campsite also has its own bar - restaurant to have a drink or something to eat. A beauty salon and wellness area with SPA to be pampered and have a massage, are also available on-site, as well as a launderette and bicycle hire service. Wi-Fi is available for free at the campsite reception and bar.
On-site, there is no shortage of outdoor activities. You’ll have the chance to play ping-pong, pétanque and compete against each other on the multi-sports ground or at volleyball. You can have a fitness class or tone your body in the gym. Lastly, you can work on your agility and accuracy on the mini golf course.
The sandy beach running alongside Le Pipiou is perfect to relax, swim and build sandcastles. In the surrounding area, a treetop adventure course offers you the chance for lots of thrill-seeking.
Go off to explore the wonders of South West France
Visit Mimizan, a town neighbouring Parentis known for being “The pearl of the Côte d'Argent” coast (Gironde estuary to Bayonne). This seaside resort nestling in the Landes Forest has six dream beaches, perfect for surfing and kitesurfing. You can visit the Musée Prieuré museum (with medieval religious art and furniture) with its bell-tower porch and see the Château Woolsack, a superb country house, built at the request of the Duke of Westminster.
Succumb to the charms of the Arcachon Basin, between the towns of La Teste-de-Buch and Lège Cap Ferret. Climb to the summit of the Dune du Pilat dune, take a deep breath and discover the unique view over the Banc d'Arguin Nature Reserve, the forest and Cap Ferret peninsula. Hire a sea kayak to approach the cabins on stilts on the Ile aux Oiseaux, and end your day by tasting oysters and a lovely glass of white wine in one of the oyster huts, running along the seashore.
After having loads of sea air and sandy beaches, you might be tempted by a day’s exploring in the city of Bordeaux. The Gothic Saint-André cathedral, 18th and 19th century mansions, and Musée des Beaux-arts (Museum of Fine Arts). Not forgetting the Place de la Bourse, in the centre of which the Fountain of the Three Graces stands and the Miroir d'Eau reflecting pool...
