Hossegor
Between the Bordeaux bourgeoisie and the Biarritz aristocracy of the 20th century, Hossegor has carved out a place for itself among the most chic and sought-after seaside resorts on the Côte d’Argent.
Now a world-renowned surfing spot, Hossegor owes its renown to ideal surfing conditions combined with the magnificent Landes coastline, which have attracted a large number of professional surfers and high-profile competitions.
Hossegor has also become one of the Atlantic coast‘s top resorts for golfers and visitors to discover its natural and cultural heritage.
As you stroll through the town, you’ll notice the Basque-Landes architecture, marked by a blend of regional styles that have played a major role in forging the resort’s identity. One of the best-known examples of this architectural style is the Sporting Casino, although most of the other buildings are residential. Around 400 villas were built between the two world wars as holiday resorts.
Since 1927, Hossegor has also boasted a prestigious golf course with a typically British layout, and is renowned as one of the finest in the world. Its sandy soil in the heart of a forest of pines and cork oaks, which provide protection from the wind, has also helped to make the Hossegor golf course a not-to-be-missed course in the Landes region. Every year, no fewer than 10,000 visitors come to test their skills on this 18-hole course. Would you like to try your hand at golf during your stay? You’ll find it just 40 minutes from the EUROSOL campsite in Saint-Girons-plage, Landes.
