Ax les Bains – Hossegar, France
We lowly trundled through to the coast again. Our friend, Graeme, had suggested Hossegar area. He's a keen surfer and the area is a superb match to this lifestyle. Beaches are joined village by village. Really an ideal summer holiday buzz. Loads of sandy beaches, surfers,mariners, lunch spots and fresh air.
Something I think everyone loves about France is the Boulangeries (trans. bakers). With the sweet tooth we have been born with, it was here we discovered the Beignet. An angelic evil to the taste buds and your figure. A doughnut square (no hole) filled with a large amount of Nutella with sprinkles of icing sugar on the top. You cannot hide the deliciousness of these more-ish delights, no matter how neat a eater you are, the tell-tale dribbles of chocolate will appear around your mouth.
An aire which is more like a campsite is offered at 7 euro per 24 hours is found under the canopy of pine trees. This is where we based camp for a night. Some people had clearly been there for much longer - though they were harmless beachbums living for the surf.
There is a toilet – but portaloo is a better option. It really fills up a lot with campers of all sorts – young and old. A really secure site as it seems the Beach Cop and a few cronies come to check if everyone is there with a paid ticket.
