Did you know?

Montalivet-les-Bains was one of the very first seaside resorts in the Médoc, officially founded in 1852. The idea came from the Count of Montalivet, who launched a vast project to stabilise the dunes that were threatening the coast, before developing the area to cater for visitors keen to enjoy the sea air. This pioneering development shaped the town’s identity as a tourist destination, long before the boom of the larger resorts on the Atlantic coast.

In fact, Montalivet was originally just a simple hamlet named Vendays. With its growing reputation, driven by the rise in seaside tourism, the town officially took the name Vendays-Montalivet in 1964, firmly establishing the resort’s place in local history and identity.

What can you do while camping in Montalivet-les-Bains?

You’ll probably start with a walk along the seafront, before being drawn to the market, a local institution where you can sample oysters, artisan produce and Médoc wines on the spot.

Outdoor enthusiasts will be in their element – whether surfing Atlantic waves, cycling through the Médoc state forest or hiking along the coastal trails. History buffs can step back in time as they explore the coastal bunkers and visit the municipal museum.

When it comes to swimming and basking in the sun, the vast central beach is the go-to spot. Meanwhile the south beach is a haven for surfers and the north beach appeals to anyone seeking a serene escape. And if the skies turn grey, venture inland to discover the Médoc’s prestigious wine châteaux or browse the artisan boutiques.
