THE POINTE D’AGON

THE POINTE D’AGON
This family's experience:

Activities: We went to Pointe d'Agon. We took the car to the sailing school and then took the coastal path through the dunes. We walked three-quarters of an hour and saw the monument to Fernand Lechanteur, then the semaphore and finally the point itself

Highlights: The children enjoyed running in the dunes, learning to orient themselves with the hiking posts and seeing the sea. The views were magnificent. The youngest had a harder time, as "walking in the dunes is not easy at 21 months..." ✨
