Our VACAF-approved establishments in the countryside

In the inland Landes, SOWELL Family Les Landes de Gascogne in Soustons offers a nature stay in the Landes forest, with swimming pool and family activities, just a few kilometres from the ocean.
The So’Inclusive package: all-inclusive with your VACAF assistance
The AVF covers between 30 and 60% of the cost of your stay depending on your situation. That is already significant, and even more so when you choose the So’Inclusive package.
So’Inclusive includes accommodation, breakfast, lunch and dinner in one single package. You pay once before you leave, then enjoy your stay without counting every expense on site. No daily food budget to manage. For families benefiting from VACAF assistance, this package is particularly suitable: your assistance applies to the overall package, including both accommodation and meals.
Our Sowell Family establishments eligible for the AVF, Le Vallon, Les Amandiers, Les Landes de Gascogne and Pignada Plage, all offer the So’Inclusive package. They are designed for families with children: swimming pool or aquatic area, kids’ club, entertainment and dining room. Enjoy your holiday with peace of mind.
Some mountain establishments also offer the Pack XXL, which combines So’Inclusive with ski passes. VACAF assistance applies to the accommodation and meals part of the stay.
