The Arcachon Bay (or Bassin d’Arcachon) is a huge salt-water lake in South-West France. We spent an entire day visiting villages and sightseeing spots along the bay. As there is lots to see and do, you can always spend more time at the bay. In this post, we’re sharing all the things to do and see in one day at the Arcachon Bay. Cap-Ferret The first stop of the day is Cap-Ferret. On the west side, Cap-Ferret borders the Atlantic Ocean, and on the east side it borders the Bay. Cap-Ferret’s main attraction is its lighthouse. It’s absolutely worth going up the 258 steps and seeing the beautiful 360˚ view over the bay and the ocean. Besides the beautiful view, there’s also an exhibition about the navigation and development of marine cartography and of course a souvenir shop. Opening hours: High-season (July-August): Daily from 10.00-19.30 Mid-season (April-June and September): Daily from 10.00-12.30 and from 14.00-18.30 Off-season (October-March): Wednesdays to Sundays from 14.00-17.00 Entrance fee (adult): €6 Cap-Ferret has a small shopping area which is nice to walk around. At the port, you can take the ferry to other places along the bay, including the city of Arcachon. There’s also a bike rental shop. The area is very suitable for cycling, so this could be a fun day activity as well if you’re staying there.
Je suis girondine depuis maintenant 3 semaines. Avec mes enfants, nous avons assez vite trouvé nos marques. Notre maison nous plaît, il fait beau, les

Suite de notre séjour sur le bassin d'Arcachon à Andernos les bains avec une location merveilleuse à la Villa Sainte-Catherine. Visite de Cap Ferret, dégustation d'huîtres, shopping et baignades... Nous avons réalisé une vidéo concernant la villa sainte-catherine...
Best visited during the summer when the weather is at its best and everything is actually open, here's an Arcachon Bay travel guide.
Avec sa grande jetée, son port ostréicole, ses espaces naturels, ses plages et sa ville animée, Andernos-les-Bains est à visiter absolument !
Comme j’ai pas la méga frite, je vais parler de quelque chose qui me fait toujours du bien : une balade vers l’océan ! Donc aujourd’hui je reviens sur notre journée à Andernos, pendant les vacances de février. Sûrement notre plus belle journée pendant ces vacances. Il a fait super beau, les enfants ont été […]

Il suffit d'un dimanche de très beau temps pour nous donner envie d'aller en bord de mer pour profiter du soleil, de la plage et manger dehors. Nous avons mis le cap sur Andernos-les-bains, une petite ville située sur le Bassin d'Arcachon. J'aime beaucoup cet endroit ou je vais depuis toute petite, j'aime me promener
