Your open-air hotel at Slow Village in Biscarrosse

Slow Village Biscarrosse is located in Port Maguide, right on the edge of a magnificent lake.
The atmosphere is peaceful and the comfort of the place will provide you with everything you need for a pleasant stay.

This means that your next vacation destination is within easy reach of many places of interest and restaurants. Slow Village Biscarrosse is the ideal base for exploring the surrounding area. Situated between a lake and the ocean, all you have to do is choose the direction of your next discovery, and enjoy cycling along the many cycle paths.

The beaches of the Atlantic Ocean are famous for their surfing and energetic waves.
The lakes, on the other hand, allow you to relax and enjoy the water with the kids. The water is calm (no waves as strong as on the ocean), which is ideal for younger children!

You can also enjoyfun and sporting activities all around the lake, including at Aqua Park, just a stone's throw from the Slow Village at Lac Biscarrosse! Conquer the many inflatable modules!
Biscarrosse is the ideal place to spend your vacations, both on the lake side and on the ocean side. And if you head north along the coast, you'll soon reach the Arcachon basin!
