Playing in Arcachon
Arcachon plays on two sides. Facing the bay, the beach, the pier and the quays make up a lively seafront. Set back, the Ville d'Hiver climbs through the pines and lines up old villas with wood and brick decoration. The Dune du Pilat nearby and the stilt-house cabins of the bay feed the imagination of the place, ideal for landscape and seaside riddles, with family or friends.
The tide changes the look of the beach and the bay: check it before choosing the time. The Ville d'Hiver is hilly, so plan good shoes.
