Put the car down, never to take it back from vacation
This summer, let's make a bet! That of putting the car down and not taking it back from all the holidays! If you are unable to take it with you, do not hesitate to visit one of the Arcachon Bassin bike rental companies.
During the holidays, you will move more easily by bike along the cycle paths, avoiding traffic jams, to enjoy your time even more.
A day to experience the essentials
On the program for this day full of emotions, start by climbing the Dune of Pilat.
After some effort, you will be rewarded with an incredible view of the Banc d'Arguin and Cap Ferret Lighthouse far away.
It will be your next step!
Head to the Moulleau Jetty at Arcachon to embark, on Cap Ferret. On site, take the time to stroll through the oyster-farming village, and why not taste some oysters facing the Dune.
Then climb the steps of the Lighthouse for a panoramic view of the Bassin of Arcachon.
Smart Bassin: Take the opportunity to enjoy the visit to the Lighthouse!
Going down, a little swim is needed to end the day in style.
That's it, you're satisfied!
Spend a day at the beach
Always accompanied by a good book, snowshoes or a surfboard!
On the Arcachon Bassin, you will have the choice between ocean side beaches, where the waves are strongest.
For calm water, prefer the ranges on the Bassin side, where you can swim at high tide.
We no longer hesitate, we dive!
Enjoy a good ice cream
Sorbet rhymes perfectly with summer holidays!
What a pleasure to choose your favorite perfume after a day at the beach. Among the many ice cream parlors of the Bassin in Arcachon, Sorbet d'amour has been our artisan since 1935! Appointment at Andernos, Arcachon, in Cap Ferret and La Teste de Buch.
If you are a foodie, why not try the famous white dunes of Chez Pascal, or bring back some chocolate oysters signed Pierre Mirgalet in Arcachon or Gujan-Mestras ?
Have fun with family
For a day that children will love as much as parents, head to Eratopia of Gujan-Mestras. Between the slides, the mini-golf, the bowling, or the pool-SPA, it's time to get together with the family and share a good time.
To take a little height, test the tree climbing courses in Andernos and Lège-Cap Ferret. There are several levels of difficulty, you won't need to be an acrobatics professional to have fun!
A day on the boat
If you have the soul of a sailor, it is possible to rent a boat for a trip on the Bassin.
You can also let yourself be carried away in a pinnace, with one of the boatmen who will be happy to tell you the story of the Bassin during your trip to the Banc d'Arguin, or in front of the beautiful villas of Cap Ferret.
Finally, for budding sailors who do not yet have a license, electric boats without a license at the Port du Teich will allow you to navigate at your own pace on the Leyre delta.
Embark with the oyster farmers
Embark with the oyster farmers You are going to have a wonderful day!
The time of a tide, climb aboard a flat to follow an oyster farmer in the direction of his oyster beds: a real authentic moment to discover a difficult but fascinating profession, and meet people who are just as difficult.
To book, call the authorized professionals directly !
Lose yourself with pleasure in the middle of nature
Getting lost yes, but above all in the figurative sense! What a pleasure to find a corner of nature to escape and enjoy the holidays differently. Along the trails of Certainly-Graveyron domains or from the Domaine de Fleury to Teich, it is an opportunity to observe animals in their natural habitat. Birds on the ground or in the air, or blondes from Aquitaine who always have their feet on the ground, and their noses in the grass! To Prés Salés d'Arès-Lège, another natural setting awaits you, wilder, with even airs of savannah. Magic !
(Re)Discover oyster ports
A new alley, a pretty colorful house, a bench to sit on and watch the passing of time...
The oyster ports are always in a good place to stroll and take your time. Head off towards Gujan-Mestras and its 7 ports to discover the work of oyster farmers,Andernos or Ares, or even Cap Ferret, l'Herbe or le Canon.
For lovers of "secret" corners, you will love the Port des Tuiles, Le Four, or the Aiguillon district.
