The Arcachon Basin

Guide of the Gironde

Travel Guide > France > Aquitaine > Gironde > The Arcachon Basin

The exceptional geographical location of Arcachon Basin as an inland sea has made it the ideal spot for oyster farming. Explore the well-preserved, picturesque oyster villages such as Herbe, Piraillan and Le Canon: narrow little sand streets lined with pretty, colourful, flower-bedecked huts, ponds and typical oyster-farming tools. Cap Ferret is a magnet for celebrities and a pleasant place for a break.
