Hi

We're likely to stay at camping municipal so would appriciate some info on that campsite.
Also we need to get from biaritz to la benne, so any travel information would really help.
Thanks

Hi Kate!
I live not far from the place tou want to go, on the "Bassin d'Arcachon" (Arcachon Bay)
There are several camping sites at Labenne. I guess that you have already taken information about them...Yo have about 110 kilometers to Spanish border, and from Biarritz to Labenne you have a very fine motorway (toll!!!) which goes from San Sebastian in Spain to Paris!!! So, don't worry about the travel .
The only trouble is the sad view that you will have of the beautiful forest of the Landes, after the terrible tempest that we have had three weeks ago! Quite half of the pine trees have been destroyed!!!
Now, if you want some accurate details, do not hezitate to contact me

And have a good time! This place is a really good choice!

What is Vichy France?
Do you wan
Is it the none occupied France in World War 2?
Answer
This was the area governed by the Vichy government, which collaborated with the Nazis who allowed an area in south-central France to be placed under their control, meaning that they did not have to occupy it which allowed them to station troops elsewhere. The Vichy government was led by Marshal Petain whose status as a WWI hero saved him from execution after the war, a fate which many of his fellow collaborators did not escape. Petain believed that as the invasion and occupation were a reality that a government under his control would allow France some dignity and to control their own affairs. In reality they were firmly under the thumb of the Nazis and actively opposed Allied attempts to free France and participated in the rounding up and removal of Jewish people into camps. They were then later deported the death camps like Auschwitz.
