Leisure / sport
When we are in the Médoc, we love to spend a lot of time outdoors, as the weather is usually very nice. This could mean a nice country side ride and explore villages we have never been, a walk through the vineyards, and of-course a visit to the beach. We think the beaches here are the best in Europe. They are wide sand beaches and the sea has beautiful waves, it is a surfers paradise.
