Destacados
Once a tiny fishing village, Arcachon transformed into a thriving seaside resort in just a century, where golden beaches meet grand Belle Époque villas. The town is uniquely divided into four neighborhoods, one for each season. On this self-guided walking tour through the sparkling Summer City and the elegant Winter City, you’ll discover the town’s history, local flavors, and hidden corners. The tour starts at Place Thiers, a square right by the beach, before following the town’s wooden pier, Jetée Thiers, where you’ll hear about Arcachon’s oyster farming legacy. You’ll explore the charming streets of La Ville d’Été (the Summer City), home to Arcachon’s magnificent market and trendy fashion outlets. In Ville d’Hiver, Arcachon’s historic Winter City, opulent villas tell the story of the town’s transformation. The tour ends in Parc Mauresque, a lush retreat that’s perfect for unwinding or enjoying a picnic with the treats you picked up along the way.

About Arcachon
Arcachon is a seaside town on a tidal bay south-west of Bordeaux, known for its oysters, Belle Époque villas and the vast Dune du Pilat nearby.
Arcachon lies on the southern shore of the Bassin d'Arcachon, a shallow bay on France's Atlantic coast sheltered behind a sand spit. It grew in the nineteenth century as a seaside and health resort, and the Ville d'Hiver, the winter town on the wooded hillside, keeps ornate villas built for convalescents. A pier, a promenade and a long beach run along the front.
