Escape to the French Atlantic coast: Our selection of homes to soak up the sea breeze
From the tip of Corsen in Southern Brittany to the Basque Country, the diverse landscapes of the Atlantic Coast never cease to amaze those who explore them—much like its vacation homes.

Escape to the French Atlantic coast: Our selection of homes to soak up the sea breeze
When we think of the Atlantic Coast, the ocean immediately comes to mind! And what would the iconic spots of the Quiberon Peninsula or the Basque Coast be without their surf houses? These homes, with reimagined traditional architecture, overlook the ocean and provide the perfect place to unwind after a day on the waves. But the Atlantic Coast isn’t just about beachfront escapes and the rhythm of crashing waves. A little further inland, you’ll find hidden estates in the Médoc surrounded by vineyards to explore, or cabins nestled in the canopy of the Landes forest. From seaside retreats to woodland hideaways, these vacation homes embody the art of slow living, balancing the land and the ocean. Discover their unique charm just below.

estates where you can live the château life
In the heart of the Gironde wine route, a majestic early 19th-century manor house, meticulously renovated, welcomes up to 22 guests in elegant style. Nestled in nature and just a short distance from the ocean, Château Réal offers an array of activities: beach picnics, yoga classes in the garden, bike rentals for exploring the region, wine tastings at local vineyards, and hiking adventures. The biggest challenge? Deciding how to fit it all into your stay!

Not far away lies another exceptional century-old residence, brimming with charm: Château Leboscq.

This is château living, Gironde-style—with a swimming pool and a tree-filled estate located within a preserved natural haven. While the château’s grandeur is undeniable, its cozy atmosphere, enhanced by soft, soothing tones, creates an inviting retreat ideal for unwinding and recharging.
A true haven of peace, Château Leboscq is perfect for exploring the surrounding nature, park, and nearby vineyards before returning to relax by the natural swimming pool, designed as a lap pool with a movable floor for children. The pièce de résistance? A breathtaking floating terrace inspired by the traditional carrelets—the iconic stilted fishing huts of the Gironde estuary. Suspended above the landscape, it harmoniously blends with the home’s design, creating the perfect setting for an impromptu barbecue, a morning yoga session, or simply taking in the view.
