Le Verdon

Le Verdon-sur-Mer, a small coastal resort on the Médoc peninsula, offers a relaxing getaway. The town boasts beautiful beaches like Plage Saint-Nicolas (Atlantic beach) and Plage de la Chambrette (estuary beach), both recognized for their cleanliness with Blue Flag certifications.

Explore the unique Phare de Cordouan, a 16th-century lighthouse standing on a tiny island off the coast. This remarkable structure, the oldest operational lighthouse in France, even offers luxury accommodation within.

Delve deeper into maritime history at Pointe de Grave, the northern tip of the Médoc peninsula where the estuary meets the Atlantic Ocean. Visit the lighthouse museum in Phare de Grave to see models of other coastal lighthouses.

For unique gifts and souvenirs, explore Le Palais des Pierres, a specialty shop offering minerals, incense, Buddhist art, and more.

While nightlife in Le Verdon-sur-Mer is low-key, you can enjoy evenings at local restaurants and bars. La Bodega Soulac Sur Mer, a restaurant with a beautiful terrace, transforms into a night bar until 2 a.m., offering a vibrant atmosphere for those seeking some evening entertainment.
