Château de Salles, near Arcachon
Self-catering holiday lodges in peaceful forested park near lakes and beaches

In Our Opinion : Set in the pine forests of the Parc Régional des Landes de Gascogne, Château de Salles is an 18 hectare park consisting of 100 villas. The park has been planned in such a way as to provide private space for each villa but without being too far from the main facilities. The lodges are spacious, simply furnished but comfortable, and there are good facilities for families including swimming pool, tennis courts, play area and bar/restaurant. This is one of our most popular destinations for family groups who are looking for something authentic and 'low-key' compared to typical holiday villages.
