Montalivet les Bains, Gironde

From Lamarque we drove to the north of the Médoc (in torrential rain) then down the west coast to Montalivet where we are staying over the weekend.
We are staying in a Camping Car Park just a few metres from a wide sandy beach bordered by a beautiful forest. The weather brightened considerably when we arrived here and we took full advantage of the great walking opportunities here.
On Sunday we visited a huge market in the town where we bought a delicious rotisserie chicken for our lunch (and tea).
More walking after lunch and we headed to the beach in the evening with lots of other people to watch the sunset .
Interesting fact about Montalivet; it is home to the world's first naturist holiday resort opened in 1950 and still running! (We didn't know this before arriving here .....the resort is a stone's throw from us ! 😉)
We've had a lovely weekend here.Read more
