A few kilometres from Bisca Grands Lacs, set off to discover Arcachon bay! In the Gironde, bordered by the Landes forest and Atlantic ocean, a visit to Arcachon Bay will lead you to small oyster ports and unspoilt beaches.
Arcachon Bay: between small oyster ports and small villages
Arcachon Bay has many assets… But the favourite is the oyster ports and small colourful villages, where you really feel like you are on holiday!
Coloured wood cabins, small beaches and pine boats set up the traditional decor of the area’s villages: you are naturally in Arcachon Bay! In the midst of the typical small hamlet ambiance, enjoy a few fresh oysters in an oyster cabin on the water. A glass of white wine and a few oysters with friends: the perfect recipe for happiness!
Visit the Arcachon Bay oyster ports of Gujan-Mestras, Arès or Andernos-les-Bains and meet the oyster producers, genuinely in love with Arcachon Bay… To experience this to the full, get on board with an oyster producer and discover the oyster parks and their profession.
