Villa Marina de Talaris sur le lac de Lacanau

You'll find a kayak, bicycles, and more on site at this pet-friendly villa. Jump into your car and make short work of the 4-minute drive to Lake Lacanau or the 31-minute drive to Médoc Natural Regional Park (and enjoy the property's convenient onsite parking in the meantime).

After you return, you can unwind by the communal pool or sip a drink in the garden; you may also like the deck or patio and outdoor furniture. As for the great indoors, you can come inside and enjoy the TV and stereo.

As you settle into this 2-bedroom, 1-bathroom rental, you'll find a dining area, a BBQ grill, and a fireplace. Bathroom amenities include a hair dryer, towels, and toilet paper. Prepare a home-cooked meal in the kitchen, complete with an oven, a stovetop, and a refrigerator, as well as a coffee maker, an electric kettle, and a microwave. And because there's access to laundry facilities, you can go a bit lighter on your packing.
