Located near the charming seaside resort of Meschers-sur-Gironde, these natural and developed caves reveal a rich past, where man adapted to his environment by digging dwellings directly into the cliff.

Emilie's opinion

I love sunbathing by the beautiful lagoon, racing down the inflatable ring waterslide at full speed! Enjoying a little aperitif while playing Mölkky in the village square. A little favourite of mine is the village of La Tremblade, where you can taste sublime éclades! The indoor pool will not be accessible until 24/05/2026 due to renovation work on the dome.
