SURFING HOLIDAYS IN FRANCE (EUROPE)
République Française
The French Republic is a country whose metropolitan territory (MF) is located in Western Europe and that also comprises a collection of overseas islands and territories (DOM's) located in other continents E.g. Guadeloupe. Metropolitan France extends from the Mediterranean Sea to the English Channel and North Sea, and from the Rhine River to the Atlantic Ocean. French people often refer to Metropolitan France as l'Hexagone (the 'Hexagon') because of the geometric shape of its territory. (personally I think it looks more like a star, but hey I'm not gonna argue the point)
France is bordered by Belgium, Luxembourg, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Monaco, Andorra, and Spain. In some of its overseas departments, France also shares land borders with Brazil, Suriname, and the Netherlands Antilles. France is also linked to the United Kingdom via the Channel Tunnel, which passes underneath the English Channel.

SURFING HOLIDAYS IN FRANCE
France has endless miles of fine golden sand, perfect hollow beach breaks and hot sunny summers. The top brands in the surfing industry were quick to set up their European HQ in and around Hossegor and Biarritz and who can blame them. France has to be the ultimate European summer surf destination: during summer the north Atlantic feeds remarkably warm water along the west coast and winds are off shore almost every morning. Quality surf, gorgeous topless women on the beaches, crazy summer parties and fantastic food... Do we really need to say anything more.
