F.A.Q

How can I get from Bordeaux to Arcachon?

This tour is perfect for you as we will guide you through the city center of Arcachon and the winter town, and take you to the Pilat Sand Dune at the best time of the day.

What are the sights and activities in Arcachon?

Arcachon is a charming small resort town on the Bay of Arcachon. Many families from Bordeaux visit on weekends to enjoy the sandy beaches and mild climate. If you’re not interested in oyster tasting or climbing the Pilat Sand Dune, ask your guide to show you around Arcachon.

One of the most interesting parts of Arcachon is the Winter Town. Overlooking the town and the Bay, this district features over 300 villas built in the 19th century, showcasing a variety of extravagant architectural styles.

Another great activity in Arcachon is walking along the Promenade facing the Bay, then exploring the town itself and shopping for local souvenirs. Arcachon is also known for its great arts and crafts shops, perfect for finding authentic gifts.

What is a Pinasse Boat and how long is the tour?
