Less than a week after I arrived, I took a trip to Capbreton with the kids and their grandmother. After a six hour drive (thank you, Bordeaux traffic), we arrived in one of the cutest little beach towns I've ever been to.

Unlike my overcast (albeit beloved) Pacifica, the water here was actually warm enough to go into and enjoy. We played in the waves, ate jam sandwiches every day (for goute aka snacktime), and relished in the ultimate beach weather (warm with a perfect breeze). I've never really considered myself a "beach person"* but after my first day in the beautiful Atlantic and the perfectly soft sand I couldn't help but fall in love.

*Maybe I was just waiting for southern french beaches this whole time.

    i'm convinced there is nothing better than a southern france beach. after this, all others are just going to be letdowns.

    beautiful photos! you should try arcachon. it is a beach at a bay so the water is very calm. and it is a cute little town.

    i did that and another beach (can't remember the name) in one day and also climbed the tallest dune in europe. if you do that, be adventurous and don't take the stairs. it is tiring but the view at the top is worth it.
