User reviews
"Fouras is a charming French holiday destination with several beaches and delightful shops. Unlike Blackpool, it's not crowded, and you can enjoy a peaceful atmosphere. To avoid the muddy low tide, you can visit the seawater pool located at the end of the main beach. The town has plenty of great cafes and restaurants both on the beachfront and in the city center. Additionally..."

"Make sure to check the distance of the water before going. It's best to visit in the afternoon as it's a beautiful spot. The beach is relatively peaceful and well-maintained."
