Arcachon is an upmarket seaside resort that's sure to please whatever your tastes. It's an ideal destination for travellers looking for relaxation, thanks to its summery atmosphere and wide beaches, as well as for travellers who love architecture, thanks to its many villas in a variety of styles.

Then head for the cabanes tchanquées on Île aux oiseaux. Here, you'll have the chance to combine cultural discovery with these little huts on stilts, natural discovery with the exceptional landscapes on offer, and also water sports activities, as the best way to discover the Ile aux oiseaux is to set off on a trip aboard the famous pinasses, typical boats of the region, or by hiring a kayak for the duration of an excursion! The cabanes tchanquées are wooden structures on stilts, which were once used by oyster farmers to watch over the oyster beds. They are set in the heart of a breathtaking natural setting where many species of migratory birds come to take shelter. Nature lovers will appreciate the peace and quiet of this place, as will photography enthusiasts who can enjoy practicing their art!

Finally, discover a place steeped in history with a visit to the Cap Ferret lighthouse.

Situated at the centre of the Cap Ferret headland, you can visit the lighthouse today thanks to its museum, but you can also climb its 258 steps for a breathtaking view of the contrast between the powerful ocean waves breaking against the dunes on one side and the calm waters of the Bay of Arcachon on the other.
