There are many tourist and cultural activities to discover from the Hossegor Self Catering Holiday Resort*** in the Landes. The Basque culture is visible everywhere. It’s expressed through the many festivals organised in the coastal towns and in the Pyrenees. Hossegor is proud of its “jaï alaï” (ball game), the “cesta punta” court (the Basque speciality of the pelota ball game). If you’re able to join one of the teams for this spectacular and fast-paced game, don’t hesitate to get involved! If you head to the southern Basque coast, you can visit Cap Breton, Biarritz, Hendaye, Saint-Jean de Luz and the Rhune mountain range. Travel on to Spain, and walk through the colourful narrow streets of San Sebastian, Fontarrabie, Ibardin, Béhobie and Dantxaria. Heading towards the south-east? Welcome to the Pyrenees valleys and, further afield, the Béarn vineyards. You’ll find the Pau château here, and about 3 hours by car from the residence, an exceptional panoramic view over the Pic du Midi. On your way to the north, you’ll find the Landes de Gascogne regional nature park, the beautiful beaches of Biscarosse and the wonderful Arcachon Bay
