Things to do: We went to see local villages and markets, and got to see Bordeaux and Paris on or journey Food: Most food we ate was self cooked. We mostly ate Baguette and pasta and put a spin on it with different sauces or spreads everyday. We didn’t really experience real french food but I liked our cooking Safety: As I previously said, one shouldn’t wander around the beach or the forrest alone at night but other than that it’s super safe, I didn’t notice any stealing and there is security service Budget: The most expensive factor was the journey by train. If I recall correctly it was about 300€ per person. We paid about 150€ each for the camp site. For food we sometimes ate pizza but mostly went to the local supermarket Accommodation: I shared a tent with two friends. The atmosphere was were relaxed and we made lots of friends during our stay. I must say that there happened one unfortunate coincidence that made me feel less secure than before. I recommend not wandering from the beach to the camp site (~300m) alone at night. But my overall experience was great! Recommendations: I always felt very safe on the journey and apart from very little incidents there wasn’t anything to worry about (of course one needs to be careful always)
