Biscarrosse, France: Average Review Ratings

Weather

Hot and sunny although we had a couple of thunderstorms and showers. Warm enough to sit out until late at night

Holiday

Excellent - area is fantastic, not many british around. Beaches are great long and sandy - excellent surfing beaches. Biscarosse Lac is great too and this is the only beach that you pay parking for. Most parking is free and the concerts on the promenade are good and free too. We always camp in our own tent and this year will be our fourth because we like it so much.

Weather

The weather is usually hot and sunny, sometimes extremely hot but not so unbearable that you can't go out. It tends to remain hot and sunny until the sun goes down, in fact the later on in the day, the warmer it seems to get!
We have experienced rain on most visits but it doesn't spoil the holiday and there is usually a lovely breeze.

Holiday

Relaxing, unhurried, lots of lovely places to visit.
Local people are very friendly but a lot don't speak English as Biscarosse is not like your typical holiday destination. The region is very rural.
You won't find horrible high rise hotels and holiday complexes apart from the many camping sites with caravans, which is where we stay.
Yes you can still get chips and pizza and buckets and spades but I would say it is a region where the French like to holiday as well as other nationalities, so therefore, a full english breakfast is off the menu - thank goodness - a la carte is the dish of the day.

Weather

Changable but mainly hot dry and sunny. Some days were so hot it was unbearable but be prepared for the weather to change within minutes.

It is still first thing, but then the wind picks up and good for surfers. By late afternoon, the wind is back down again and it scorching again!

When it rains, it normally has a great thunder and lightening storm so be ready for some great lights in the sky.

Holiday

It must be good as we have been going there for the last 15 years on and off.

Home from home for us!

Superb for waterskiing and and watersports for that matter.

Great cycle tracks as well - mainly flat as well.

Any of the beaches along the coast - just fantastic. Miles and miles of white sand.
