  • A half an hour’s walk from Messanges beach and Étang de Moïsan lake
  • Pool, bar, restaurant, pétanque, play area, games room and wifi
Pack your togs and towels and set sail for Camping Le Moussaillon, a family-friendly site in south-western France between the Atlantic and a lake. Yep, you read that right – this site has easy access to beaches of both the saltwater and freshwater sort, plus a heated and covered pool of its own. Facilities here include a restaurant-bar with a TV that shows live sports, from games of rugby and football to bigger events like the Olympics and Tour de France. Quaff your way through the highlights during the day, or head down at mealtimes to sample some of the gamut of grub on the menu. Kids as well as grownups are well catered for at this park – nippers have an outdoor play area and an indoor games room, plus places to rollerblade, scooter and skateboard around. The site is in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine resort of Messanges, a spot known for its surfing and other board sports. More active options include renting bikes nearby and flitting through the adjacent forest or strolling down to the peaceful Étang de Moïsan lake (30 minutes' walk) and lazing around by the water's edge. Other restaurants are in Messanges, a few minutes’ walk on foot, if you fancy a broader range of places to eat. In town there are also plenty of shops, including supermarkets where you can pick up snacks.

Local attractions

This watery part of France is home to a lot of inland waters – if you like what you see at Étang de Moïsan (30 minutes' walk), check out the brill lake at Vieux-Boucau-les-Bains (five minutes' drive) or the Étang de Léon (15 minutes). This latter spot is one of the biggest lakes in the Landes region and is more exposed to the elements, making it a bit more bracing for swimming but well-suited to sailing – head to the sports centre on its southern edge to try it out for yourself. You don't have to be an expert in the local lingo to work out what Adrénaline Parc (five minutes) is all about – this ace activity centre is set in a forest where you can set out on a high ropes course, zoom around on quad-biking safaris or get competitive over a game of paintball. Seeking something more relaxed? Drive 45 minutes or so to the south and you'll end up in Bayonne, a historic city with a Gothic-style cathedral, old half-timbered houses and a cracking covered market.
