Can't decide between a beach break, a rural retreat or a city escape? This cosy apartment marries all three. It resides just five minutes from the centre of Arcachon and the gorgeous beaches along the coastline, whilst being encompassed by a huge forest. Oh, and did we mention it's also next door to a lush golf course? It lets you have every type of holiday in one trip.

With all that in mind, it's hard to know where to begin. For the beach-lovers, grab your towels and spend the day sunbathing on the golden sands. Bring refreshments and take dips in the water to cool off under the summer sun.

If you prefer a more adventurous holiday, discover the various walking trails across the forest. After strolling through the verdant scenery, grab your clubs and head to the refined greens of the golf course.

For the days where you want to go at a slower pace, you can mosey around the cute city centre. Pick up some bread, cheese and wine to enjoy back on the terrace for carefree evenings in the tranquility of nature.
