Explore France’s Atlantic Coast in 2025. Our journey follows the coastline from the historic WWII beaches of Normandy down to the surf towns of Biarritz, covering everything in between: La Rochelle, Île de Ré, Bordeaux, Arcachon Bay, and the magnificent Dune du Pilat.
We travel through tidal inlets, vast sand dunes, quiet harbors, and cliffside roads. This is the other side of France—wider, windier, and shaped by time.
In this guide, you’ll learn:
🌊 The best time to visit (Hint: avoid the summer crowds).
🐌 How to slow down and actually feel the coast you’re traveling through.
📜 The stories and history that still echo along this shoreline.
This is not a tourist brochure. It’s a visual guide to the wind, tide, and silence that define the edge of France.
