Holiday by the sea in France: Rental accommodation and pitches
3 February, 2023
The most beautiful thing about a holiday by the sea in France is certainly the epic view that can be enjoyed from the pitches and rental accommodation. Waking up in the morning to breakfast by the sea and enjoying the peace and quiet on the currently empty beach is an indescribably beautiful feeling of freedom and just right for a change of scenery on holiday.
There are many campsites in France that are by the sea and offer pitches for tents, camper vans and caravans. On the sites you will also find comfortable and fully equipped mobile homes with a sea view. Some of these campsites are located on the Atlantic coast, while others offer a view of the Mediterranean coast. Here I present a selection of pitches and mobile homes in France for your holiday by the sea.
1. Cottage right on the Atlantic coast
The 4-star campsite Sandaya Soulac Plage has a fantastic location on the Atlantic coast. Most of the pitches and mobile homes are located in the shady pine forest. Towards the sea, there are large sand dunes and Soulac’s long beach.

For example, for six people, for groups of up to ten people and for families of up to four people. Your dogs can also spend your holiday by the sea with you in these mobile homes.
