Excursions, beach and culture
Soulac-sur-Mer boasts of its fantastic coastal location and beautiful beaches. Do you want to bring your beloved four-legged companion along? This is not a problem at many apartments or holiday homes! Book a vacation with a dog or pet and fully enjoy your vacation together. The top attraction of the coastal city of Soulac-sur-Mer is the Roman Catholic parish church, Notre-Dame-de-la-fin-des-Terres. This is a former monastery church of the Benedictines. Since 1998, it has been part of the World Heritage Site "Pilgrimage Routes in France". Soulac-sur-Mer is, of course, primarily known as a bathing resort - along with its neighboring village of L'Amélie-sur-Mer. Stroll along the promenade to your heart's content, shop or take advantage of the extensive range of sports on offer, from badminton to water skiing. When the waves are too high, an offshore sandbank shields the beach, making it ideal for families staying in a holiday apartment or house. If you feel like going on an excursion, take the narrow-gauge railway from the beach to the Pointe de Grave, the northernmost tip of the Médoc. The wooded cape ends at Port-Bloc harbor. A car ferry crosses the Gironde to Royan from here. Boats to the Phare de Cordouan lighthouse also depart from this location. Impressive fact: In 1989, remains of a Gallic standard, a boar figure, were discovered near Soulac. You can find these remains in the Museum of Art and Archaeology of the town. Take walks through the idyllic pine forests and visit numerous nearby attractions from your house with a fireplace in the center of the town. Book your journey now for a holiday accommodation with a garden and pool and enjoy the dream of pure relaxation.
Eating as its own culture
On the French Atlantic coast, much revolves around fresh and unadulterated ingredients from the region. Seafood and fish dominate the area. The culinary start to the day often has a sweet touch. Breakfast usually includes café au lait, baguette, croissant, butter, jam, and fruit. Along the coast, moules frites are very popular for lunch, which are mussels served with French fries. Brasseries and bars also offer baguettes or a croque monsieur (baked toast) for quick lunches. Half a dozen oysters are frequently consumed as a starter in the evening. Dinner often does not occur before 7:00 pm and typically consists of a multi-course meal accompanied by wine. Typical main dishes include lamb, eel braised in cognac or red wine, or entrecôte. Wine is the most important drink during meals. The red wines are produced in Saint-Émilion and Médoc, while the exquisite white wines come from the Loire Valley or the Entre-Deux-Mers. A popular aperitif is Pineau des Charentes, which consists of 75 percent sweet grape juice and 25 percent cognac. Many delicacies await you during your stay in a house with a built-in oven or accommodation with a pool and garden.
