The development
The residence Les Balcons de l’Ocean benefits from an incredible location, right on the sea front in Biscarosse. Just behind the landscaped dune which overlooks the ocean, the building fits in harmoniously with the environment, literally a few metres from a vast fine sandy beach. Les Balcons de l’Ocean also provides a heated outdoor swimming pool with hot tub and a sauna. The residence offers 71 apartments from studio to 3 bedrooms equipped with all modern comforts- stylish decor, entirely equipped kitchens and bathrooms, balconies or terraces with patio furniture, as well as a garage.
The location
Nestled at the heart of the largest forest in Europe, the residence is in privileged surroundings. Biscarrosse is renowned for its immense sandy beaches and its turquoise lakes which recall exotic lagoons- a prestigious seaside resort, preserved between dunes and pines. Biscarrosse is in fact divided into 3 poles, encompassing the town, the beach and the lake. Altogether there are 3 markets a week (more during the summer months), numerous shops, bars and restaurants making for a lively place. The town has much to offer culturally with a variety of exhibitions, concerts, shows, museums (including the hydroplane museum as Biscarrosse used to be the workshop and testing site) and more. Bordered by the Atlantic, the Landes department is a place of contemplation for all nature lovers. From the Gironde estuary to the Basque country, the Cote d’Argent extends its assets proudly along the seashore- between the forests and the highest dunes in Europe, life is all about a gentle joix de vivre.
Activities
Set 200 metres from Biscarrosse-Plage, the ocean is a vast playground for a variety of water sports- swimming, surfing, sailing, diving, beach volley, sand yachting and parasailing. On the beautiful lakes one can practise water-skiing, sailing, canoe-kayaking... there’s something for everyone! For those who prefer to stay on dry land, the surrounding pine forests offer hiking, horse riding, golf, cycling, orienteering and archery.
Local food and specialities
Les Landes boasts a rich gastronomic heritage with local produce including free range poultry (all certified Label Rouge for their excellent quality, from chicken to capon and guinea fowl), game (wild boar, deer...), fish (sea bass, carp, trout, turbot), and fresh fruit and vegetables- kiwi, mushrooms, asparagus, carrots as well as various wines (Tursan, Chalosse) and liqueurs, notably Armagnac. Dishes include all kinds of foie gras and confits, coq au vin, roasted poultry with rich sauces, and for dessert pastis gascon- prunes marinated in Armagnac.
