Where do the youngsters go???
Hi there, my girlfriend and I are returning from a years travel through SE Asia and Australia, we have been in Tuscany for a few weeks and are now in Mallorca. We would like to stay in Europe for the summer (not the UK as we are from there) and are looking for advice on young fun places, the backpackers route and happening towns that perhaps cater to surfers or climbers or whatever. We are particularly interested in the south of France and would also like to know what the Alps are like in the summer months.
Cheers
Anthony

Well, I would look over on some of Lonely Planet forums. Many of us here are wrinklies, and the hot topics are hotels for less than $300 and first class on the Eurostar. Well, maybe not quite that bad, but not far off.

For places with surf culture in the South of France, you'll need to head to the Atlantic coast and Lacanau and Hossegor. From experience (of not that many years ago and apparently they've only got busier since) these are the places to go in the summer months to meet loads of young, fun people into the surf culture, even if they can't surf particularly well (again from experience).
Had a few truly memorable summers spent between the two a few years back watching stages of the World Surfing Championships and hanging out with the pro surfers. Very good times indeed.
