Arcachon, we spent 3 days there, 3 very pleasant days. Out of season, the city is no longer the same: the grandparents are relieved of their grandchildren who they will find again the first weekend of the school year, we find ourselves in this in-between, a city that is running at a slow pace but has not yet locked itself in its winter shell. The main part of the day is the walk along the beach, a coffee on the terrace of the Repetto brasserie, some shopping at the covered market of Arcachon, an aperitif at the Petit Louvre, the meal, my nap and we do it again by browsing the different shops of the small shopping streets; at the end of the walk, a few oysters at the Pitt to whet our appetites... A desire for a longer walk? We get lost in the streets of the Quartier d'Hiver behind the Mauresque park to admire the typical seaside architecture of the French coast; or we push towards the jetty of the chapel passing by the Notre-Dame-d'Arcachon basilica...

Beautiful seaside resort with several cycle paths along the coast. Known for its oysters and the lake of the same name connected to the sea. Nearby is the Dune de Pila.

Exceptional view but……wooden track in poor condition, promiscuity with pedestrians sometimes tricky and above all it ends on Place Peyneau without indication in the middle of a car park. What follows is an ordeal in front of the waterfront restaurants…. I have lived in Arcachon for 45 years!

Beautifully laid out. Informative tour. The "yield" of birds is certainly also dependent on time.

Arcachon is a very beautiful seaside resort which has seven kilometers of beaches. Located on the banks of the famous basin of the same name, this dynamic city has an atypical architecture nestled in a remarkable natural setting.

This beautiful 600-meter beach is located between the port of Arcachon and the Eyrac jetty. It offers a lovely place to relax on the edge of the Arcachon basin.
