Going on vacation in the spring on the Atlantic coast

What could be better than the invigorating air of the Atlantic coast to recharge your batteries and leave the daily grind behind? We recommend the Île d’Oléron, the Île de Ré, or the Landes region for your vacation—all destinations waiting to be discovered or rediscovered. The hardest part is deciding where to go, as the entire coast is brimming with treasures and magnificent landscapes to explore.

Spending your vacation on the Île d’Oléron

The Île d’Oléron and its picturesque fishing village landscapes transport everyone who visits. The scenery, featuring lighthouses, beach huts, and the endless ocean, is even more stunning in the spring, ensuring an unforgettable stay. While on the island, remember to book your tickets to visit the famous Fort Boyard, an opportunity you won't want to miss! Not sure where to stay?

Discovering the Landes for the Easter holidays

A little further down the Atlantic coast, just before Biarritz, lies Labenne, a small town by the ocean that boasts magnificent houses just steps away from the region's vast beaches. From Labenne, you can explore the entire region or simply enjoy the charm of the surroundings. You don't have to go far to feel like you've escaped and to recharge.

Heading to the city for spring break? Why not!

No matter where you go, if the weather is nice, the destination will be beautiful. So why not visit big cities in a spring setting and, who knows, see them from a new perspective? We’re taking you to Lyon and Toulon, destinations where spring already feels like an early summer.

Enjoy spring during a stay in Lyon

The city of Lyon bears witness to all of French history and the passage of eras, each with its own unique characteristics. From the Roman Amphitheatre of the Three Gauls and medieval ruins to traces of the Renaissance, you can find a real journey through time in Lyon. Take advantage of a stay in Lyon to stroll through the ages all the way to the modern Confluence district; there is something for everyone.

The house is fully equipped to house and entertain an entire family with children, thanks to a floor entirely dedicated to kids, complete with a playroom that will delight the little ones. However, in the spring, you want to spend time outside in the fresh air. That is also possible at this house, thanks to its large terrace and green space. Don't forget the balls and rackets; it's the perfect time to share some family moments.

Go visit Toulon for the spring holidays

And why not Toulon? This seaside city enjoys a privileged climate all year round, but it is in the spring that it takes on magnificent colors. Enjoy the Mediterranean coast without the influx of summer tourists during a spring stay. Plan a picnic on the beach or a getaway to the pebble coves. For those who love breathtaking scenery, take the funicular that carries you to the summit of Mont Faron. The port of Toulon is a must-see, with its submarines, warships, fishing boats, and pleasure craft.
