Top 5 things to do in Arcachon
1. Arcachon centre
The city of Arcachon is divided into several districts, each with its unique charm, and four of them are named after the four seasons. In the Winter district, situated to the north of Arcachon, you'll encounter stunning villas constructed in the 1860s, showcasing an eclectic mix of architectural styles—a delightful surprise for architecture enthusiasts. As you explore the northern part of Arcachon, don't miss the Moorish Park, offering a picturesque stroll, and the Sainte Cécile observatory, which promises a breathtaking 360-degree panoramic view of the bay. For those looking to soak up the sun, Pereire Beach is a popular choice. To the southwest of Arcachon, the district of Moulleau seamlessly combines culture, relaxation, and gastronomy. Here, you can marvel at the remarkable Notre Dame des Passes church, unwind on the beach, and embark on a culinary adventure along the pier. If you're planning your visit to this charming city, don't forget to book a holiday letting in Arcachon to ensure a comfortable and memorable stay.
2. La dune du Pilat
Climb on the dune du Pilat, the highest dune in Europe, although its height is debatable (between 110 and 115 metres!) to enjoy the panoramic view of the magnificent Arguin Bank. It is from this bank that the grains of sand that form the dune fly away. This 100% natural monument is therefore not shaped by human hands, but tourism is in full swing. It is the 2nd most visited natural site in France after the Bay of Mont St Michel. Some come here for the horizon, others for the majestic grandeur of the dune, others, lovers of thrills, will start paragliding. And if you want to expand your options, you can consider looking at the villas in Hossegor to find more natural landscapes such as this one
3. Le Banc d'Arguin and Ile aux Oiseaux
Eager to get some fresh air? Embark on a boat for a tour of the pool. Take the opportunity to see the atypical cabins tchanquées, real emblems of the area, on Bird Island. To strengthen your biceps, it is also possible to access them by kayak! Not that athletic? Opt for a most authentic visit: sail through the pool in pinasses, the long, flat boats used by Arcachon oyster farmers.
4. The Teich Ornithological Reserve
The magnificent Teich Reserve, which covers 110 hectares, offers the opportunity to observe more than 80 species of birds, including storks. The reserve is open all year round, but the best time to observe birds is from April to June. From the woods to the meadows, passing through the marshes, a 6 km long trail guides you, so you don't miss anything of your visit. Don't forget to bring your pair of binoculars! And if you're eager to find more natural wonders like this, consider exploring villas in Azur for a comfortable and convenient stay in that region.
5. The Lège Cap-Ferret peninsula
A sought-after holiday destination among Bordeaux residents, the Cap-Ferret Lège peninsula boasts a unique feature—it provides access to both the ocean and the Arcachon basin. While its pristine beaches draw crowds, the architectural gems are equally captivating. Explore the magnificent Algerian Villa chapel, and don't miss the iconic Cap-Ferret lighthouse, a designated historical monument.
