a morning on the terrace

Picnic at Renecros Beach

12 hours

It's already time for the southern break. The best thing about this season is that it’s not the season yet. Nature is just waking up, the sea has not yet been invaded by vacationers, the atmosphere is still soft and peaceful. This is why we strongly advise you to take full advantage of this day to relax and take a break, a real.

Take the direction of the beach Renecros along the quay. Place your towel wherever you like and remove your shoes to enjoy the fine sand. Take out your picnic and enjoy a moment of disconnection. It's just you, on the sand eating facing the sea. Sometimes life is as simple as that.

Take advantage of this break to browse your current book, or, if the temperature already allows it, take a midday swim. The same as a midnight swim, but with a swimsuit 😉
