Peace and tranquility in the forest by the lake - you definitely need a car. The directions we were sent got us to our destination, 15 mins from Biscarosse and 10 mins from Parentis-en-Born. The welcome guide was very poor for a large business, however staff were friendly and helpful. Just so you are aware, there is no aircon, hairdryer,... More

I selected these apartments because I wanted somewhere we could drive to from the UK, and that would have good weather. This area of France is not heavily used by UK tourists. The staff in the apartments spoke good English, but French is handy, particularly if you want to take advantage of Noel's excellent and good value 'Ecole du Vol'... More

We've travelled to Parentis in France three times now, each time during the summer staying in Cottages du Lac. The area is very wooded (typical 'Landes') which makes it great for outdoor activities. Our two sons particularly enjoyed cycling around the area although we also had some lovely walks (and my husband went jogging a lot). Our cottage was beside... More

My husband and our two teenage sons stayed in an apartment at Cottage du Lac, Parentis en Born last October and had a wonderful week. One hour south of Bordeaux and 2 hours from Biarritz, it is a great location. The site is beautifully kept, and with the lake and beaches on your doorstep it was ideal. The boys loved... More
