PRIVATE TOURS

The Bay of Arcachon is a lagoon formed several millennia ago by the accumulation of sediment and the influence of the tides. Long populated by fishermen and oyster farmers, the area’s activity began to develop in the 19th century with the boom in oyster farming and the arrival of the railroad, which transformed Arcachon into a popular seaside resort.

It’s a place marked by a rich natural and cultural heritage , with emblematic sites such as the Dune du Pilat, the highest in Europe, theÎle aux Oiseaux and its famous Cabanes Tchanquées, and the oyster-farming villages of the Cap-Ferret peninsula.

Today, the Bassin d’Arcachon is a mecca for tourism, committed to environmental preservation while remaining rooted in its maritime traditions.
