TJM's Centre d'Isle Vert is et right beside the banks of Soustons main 700-hectare lake. It's less than 5km away from the beautiful Soustons Plage - the perfect location to try body boarding and surfing.

Bordeaux lies just 130km to the north of Soustons, the famous surf resort of Hossegor is only 15km to the south and in under an hour you can reach the foothills of the French Pyrenees. Soustons really is a truly stunning setting for an adventure holiday.
