Paracou beach

Paracou (La Plage du Paracou) is a small but quite wide picturesque beach in the vicinity of Le Sables-d'Olonne and near Cote Sauvage. Its coast is in no way equipped for beach vacation but still attracts many guests during the season. The exception is s an equipped parking next to the beach, the part of which near it is most often occupied by guests.

Beach description

Paracou beach has very clean bright sand. But while moving north, the beach is becoming more rocky with lots of stones in front of the water, and the northern outskirts is limited by scenic dunes. Here, rocky beach areas (often with huge boulders in the sea) alternate with sandy ones, and even atural ponds formed during strong tides can be noticed in places. The currents are very strong on this beach, and it is monitored by the rescuers.

During low tides Paracou is not the best beach for swimming, but coastal fishing is quite relevant here at this time. This is also a great place for long hiking along the sea beach Also, there is a bike path near the beach, which makes it possible to ride a bike near the sea. People come here not so much for swimming in the sea but for sunbathing and active leisure on the beach.

When is the best time to go?

It is possible to relax in France at any time of the year, the time of the trip depends more on your preferences. Summer - a great time to travel to the sea. Thanks to the Mediterranean climate, even on the southern French Riviera is not hot weather. In winter , people go to ski resorts in France. It should be be mindful that in summer and winter in France there is a high season, respectively, prices soar. To enjoy the excursions, choose the time from February to April or from September to November, when both in the north and in the south it is not very crowded. If you go to the French Riviera in September, you will never lose: You will find a time when the weather is still warm and the prices are not so high.
