Do you know Lake Hourtin?

Or Lac d’Hourtin et de Carcans, to give it its full name! Although people often just use the shorter version, the longer name exists because this stretch of freshwater straddles two towns: Hourtin to the north and Carcans to the south. So why do we sometimes just say Lake Hourtin? Simply because the locals call it that, in reference to their town. In Carcans, on the other hand, they’ll say Lake Carcans!

The different names may have their origin in local pride, but they can be practical! The lake is very large, so with the different names, it becomes simpler to pinpoint a particular spot, such as the beaches.

That said, if you choose to rent a mobile home at a campsite by Lake Hourtin or Lake Carcans, you can make the most of both these vibrant and attractive communities. Two perfect locations for a holiday base between the Médoc Natural Regional Park, Bordeaux and Arcachon Bay.

And what’s more, Lake Hourtin lies very close to another well-known stretch of water in the Gironde: Lacanau lake. In fact, the two bodies of water are linked by the Canal des Étangs. And the waterway ends its course in another of the Gironde’s must-see spots: Arcachon Bay.
