Golf
Lacanau golf course is situated on the doorstep of the great wine district of Médoc, just a mile from the famous Atlantic beaches and only 30 miles west of Bordeaux. Designed by John Harris and opened in 1980, the golf of Lacanau amply deserves its international reputation. The golf course sits amongst 50 hectares of heavy pine forests and winds it’s way between the dunes & the groves of broom providing a different challenge on each hole.
Special interest holidays
Le Porge is everything you would expect from a picturesque village in Southern France. It is a peaceful and calm rural setting hidden away between the quietness of the forest and the deep blue ocean. Local amenities include a mini-market, boulangerie, weekly market (Thursday mornings), newsagent, bar, restaurants, doctor, pharmacy, tourist office etc.
This way of life is very much appreciated by the local population (1.850 inhabitants). There is only 1 hotel with 18 rooms on the outskirt of the village. An opportunity to experience an authentic break in Southern France away from regular tourism.

Guest comments
'This house was a terrific find and we're already planning a return trip. It sits on the edge of a sleepy village just 5 minutes from an endless beach. Every eventuality was catered for and the place was immaculate. I can't recommend it highly enough' Mr Dyfed Wyn-Evans, Pontyclun.
'Mondesir turned out to be the perfect place for a holiday with three young boys (4,2 and 8 months). Even they were not able to undermine the beautiful tranquility of the setting, despite their best efforts. The house was delightful. Clearly lots of effort had gone into the refurbishment and a great deal of thought into furnishing it with everything that you could need for a comfortable stay, even bicycles, which were a big favourite for the early morning croissant run. A fantastic fortnight.' Cawthorne Family, Surrey)
"We had a wonderful time at Mondesir... the location is beautiful and the nearby beaches, stunning. We will definitely consider returning". Esther Taylor, Oxford.
