site description
A high quality Yelloh! Village parc with a multitude of activities including a spectacular pool complex. The facilities on this parc are second to none, especially the superb aquatic area with its three pools, play river and triple waterslide. While about 900m away, you can learn to surf and bodyboard in the spectacular Atlantic waves. There are dozens of activities for kids of all ages, as well as entertainment, centered around the bar-restaurant every night in high season, with the promise that all will be quiet after midnight. And the parc owner is keen for all rules to be respected for the benefit and comfort of all guests. Beyond the parc, Labenne offers endless forest roads and cycle paths; while the town itself has a splendid outdoor market, two petting zoos, as well as the lovely Marais d'Orx nature park.
