Located north of the Bassin of Arcachon, the Bois du Coulin in Andernos-les-Bains is a veritable green belt linking the forest and the Bassin. In this beautiful forest with multiple species of trees (pines, oaks, birches, ferns, etc.), Nordic walking and power walking enthusiasts can recharge their batteries thanks to the calm disturbed only by the wind in the trees.

Along the coasts of the Bassin of Arcachon with calm waters or the immense more tonic beaches of Cap Ferret, what a pleasure to practice the long coast which consists of walking in the water with an optimal height located above the waist with or without a paddle. With or without waves, all you have to do is choose.

In the Chêneraie park in Gujan-Mestras or in the Bonneval plain at La Teste de Buch, walkers discover the natural wealth that has developed around a Napoleonic canal; we walk and we breathe in the middle of nature without shouting thanks to the Afghan march.

100% outdoor, 100% zen

A very light sea breeze, the gentle Atlantic sun, a few light lapping… the Bassin from Arcachon brings together the ideal conditions for training in stand-up-paddle but also in yoga on paddle, the trend of the moment.

In the forest, in the heart of salt meadows and freshwater marshes that change with the tides or simply on one of the many beaches, we love practicing Nordic Yoga®, a new way of moving with sticks and using them to work on different postures.

What better place in France to recharge your batteries and replenish your vitality? At the top of the dune, the ocean hemmed with its waves can be seen on the horizon, the infinite dune belt that runs along the coast, the fragile Banc d'Arguin, the tip of Cap Ferret and the forest, an immense green carpet as far as the eye can see. seen. A silent activity to reconnect with nature, its sounds, its smells and its beauty!
