Recordist's notes

You don’t go through Montalivet, you come here! When you come to Monta, you’re in for a break, a moment out of time, between beaches, pine forests and marshes. Monta is a way of life, where we take the time to reconnect with the elements that surround us, and to gather with family and friends. We listen to the sound of the waves, our feet in the sand, the fresh wind on our faces, we hear the birds hiding in the pine forest, we climb the dunes. Childhood memories in a peaceful atmosphere. That’s the charm of our atypical resort nestled in the northern Médoc!
