Capbreton

Capbreton: a land of flavours

The commune of Capbreton lies on the shores of the Atlantic Ocean in the department of Landes. It has a population of around 8,400 and is bordered to the north by Soorts-Hoosegor (Soorts-Hoosegor), to the south by Labenne (Labenne) and to the east by Bénesse-Maremne. Popular with surfers, this seaside resort is also the ideal destination for families looking for a little peace and quiet in the summer season. Like so many tourists, you will no doubt be attracted by the generous gastronomy of Capbreton and the Aquitaine region. You'll never forget the flavours expressed by the Landaise dish! This salad is based on a combination of raw vegetables and pieces of duck gizzard and duck breast. Your meal can continue with a delicious goose or duck confit, a dish that goes particularly well with red Côtes de Gascogne. If you still have a bit of appetite left, treat yourself to a slice of tourtière, an exquisite pastry, to be enjoyed with a scoop of ice cream or a coffee. During your stay, don't hesitate to stop off at Labeyrie boutique or La Ferme La Barthote to buy the best products from the Landes region.

Entertainment in this Landes seaside resort

It's hard to stay in Capbreton without enjoying its seafront, it's one of its greatest assets! The port and beach discovery tour is full of surprises.

The walk also takes in the bell tower near the swimming pool and the beach chapel. As you enter this building, you'll be able to admire some superb frescoes by Marcel-Louis Dillais. If holidays are synonymous with activities and thrills, you'll be equally at home on the shores of the Atlantic Ocean! Your first few hours of surfing may be marked by some memorable spills, but you'll quickly develop a passion for this discipline. There's also stand-up paddling, a pastime loved by adults and children alike. You can also discover the charm of the coastal landscapes on board a sailing boat, an outing that promises to be memorable. Other fun activities on offer in Capbreton include tree climbing, go-karting and mini-golf. You'll play in a sumptuous 5,000 square metre wooded park and have to hit the ball into 18 holes.

Sites to see around Capbreton

There are tourist attractions that arouse the curiosity of many travellers in the far south-west of France. They can be found in Basque Country, in Biarritz, Bayonne or Saint-Jean-de-Luz. In fact, it's in the heart of this little seaside resort that the superb Saint-Jean-Baptiste church stands. There's so much to admire in this building, but don't miss the stained glass windows and baptismal font. Fascinating or terrifying: these are the words you'll be saying at the Biarritz aquarium when you discover the different residents! Moray eels, rays and sharks are the species that leave no one indifferent in this magical place. Finally, it would be a shame to choose a holiday rental in Capbreton and miss out on the Côte des Basques, which offers a masterly setting!
