Private Arcachon Full-Day tour, from Bordeaux
Overview
Discover the natural and cultural beauty of the Bassin d'Arcachon, famous for its unique architecture. We'll visit the Banc d'Arguin nature reserve and a charming oyster farm, where you can taste 6 fresh oysters and a glass of white wine to learn more about the local oyster production.
Afterwards, you will enjoy a full guided tour of Arcachon's historic center, villas and parks, learning more about the town's history and culture. You will also be able to bring back unique souvenirs by discovering the local stores and culinary specialties.
At noon we will head to the waterfront for lunch, where you will have a choice of free time to explore the city or lunch overlooking the bay with a reservation.
In the afternoon, we will climb the largest sand dune in Europe, the Pilat Dune (or Pyla), an incredible and unique natural site with a breathtaking view from its summit. As an option you can ask for a boat trip, a moment out of time, accompanied by white wine.
