Hossegor

We spent a terrific week in Hossegor, South West France. Hossegor is a famous surf beach and the town is full of brand name surf shops and millions of teenagers. It's not the typical cute French village, but the beach is enormous and composed of golden sand. This is the part of the world that d'Artagnan, the friend of the three musketeers, hails from.

Barbara and Colin joined us for the first half of the week (and cousin Toby and Mel popped in for the first night too).

Basically, the week involved lazing around at the beach, barbequeing and drinking rosé wine. Georgia was a bit wary of the sand and the water at first, but warmed to it after a few days.

Here's the three ladies looking resplendent on the beach:

Here is where we stayed:

Where else in France would you get a beach this empty?
