The essentials of the Dune du Pilat
The Dune of Pilat
Renowned throughout the world for its grandiose dimensions, the Dune du Pilat has survived the centuries (it is said to be 2600 years old!) without losing its brilliance. Known to be in perpetual motion, this famous dune moves eastwards from 1 to 5 meters per year, depending on the winds and tides. Discover the secrets of the Dune du Pilat, during numerous activities (guided walks, workshops, etc.)!
Arcachon Bay
A flagship destination in the South West, the Arcachon basin is the family destination par excellence (one out of two tourists would go there with family or friends). Among the must-see places in the Arcachon basin, we note the Arcachon basin marine natural park, which is distinguished by its particularly preserved natural space. You can also enjoy beautiful boat trips, to admire for example the unmissable tip of Cap Ferret. Also discover the salt meadows and freshwater marshes, accessible from the port of La Teste de Buch.
bird island
Known for its famous cabins on stilts, Île aux Oiseaux is a wild paradise located in the middle of the Arcachon basin. Accessible from the piers of the basin, all you have to do is embark on a sightseeing boat (or in a sea kayak, for the more athletic) to discover this nature reserve where many birds have taken up residence.
