Le Verdon sur Mer, a small village in the heart of the Médoc
The Médoc, land of vineyards and pines, takes shape between ocean and estuary. It is good to stroll in the heart of its vast pine forests or on its prestigious "Route des Vins". Punctuated with family seaside resorts (Soulac-sur-Mer, Montalivet, Lacanau, Hourtin, Carcans, etc.), the Atlantic Ocean runs for miles of uninterrupted beach. Along the Gironde estuary, the Médoc becomes more picturesque. Inland, it deploys the richness of its cultural heritage, reveals a hinterland of canals, vineyards with exceptional appellations (Pauillac, Margaux, Saint-Estèphe, Saint-Julien, etc.) and polders. On this land in the north-west of the Gironde, a multitude of places and landscapes are available to you!
