COASTLINE PATH
Read moreThe shoreline of the basin has been built for discovery. The heart of the Arcachon basin is a very interesting natural area with its landscapes, flora and fauna. The aménagées are the refuge of herons, crested, cormorants, swans, various species of ducks, otters and ragondins. Ostréicoles ports of La Testing and Gujan-Mestras, the swamp of the delta of the Leyre delta and the house of Nature, occupy the southern shore with the old salt marshes transformed in the th century into fish tanks. To the north, we meet the Domaine de bien, then Andernos and Ares, the natural reserve of the salted meadows leading to the peninsula of the Cap-Ferret, the village of L'Herb, to finish at the foot of its lighthouse.

PIRAILLAN
Read moreThe first characteristic of the village of Piraillan is that it houses a magnificent natural reserve of 37 hectares, the tanks of Piraillan. Many animal species, including wild swans, genettes, water shrew, marsh ovenbirds, and even hawks and black black with impressive scale can be observed. The site has been protected since 1997, it is so well that rare species are settling there, such as moss, a grass end. Inscribed on the inventory of classified sites, the highly picturesque oyster port consists of a succession of multi-coloured huts, some of which are centuries old. In the middle of the port, two small artificial islands are dawns, created by oyster farmers, with the aim of storing the tiles necessary for oyster breeding. In 1845 a test Master from La Testing, named Bouzat, had a cabin on the coast and called it "it ralhan" bird talkative. From that could come the name of the village.

CAPE FERRET
Read moreBetween beaches, nature and authenticity, its name makes you dream... This last village of the Peninsula is the most famous and it gave it its name. Forest, dunes and beaches, this is how we could summarize the landscape of Cap Ferret. But this place is especially enchanting thanks to the unique view that it offers on the dune of Pilat and the meeting between the Basin and the Ocean. Make sure you get to the point! Of course, you have to drive a few more kilometers, but I promise you, you won't regret it! The picture is sublime, the colors are bewitching and different at each visit. The lighthouse also gives a beautiful view of the Basin, from the Bird Island to the Dune du Pilat, passing by the fishing village of Mimbeau. The Bélisaire district is one of the liveliest and busiest in Cap Ferret and many restaurants line the pedestrian promenade. You will love to lose yourself in the small streets lined with pine trees and wooden houses, each more beautiful than the next. Thelanding stage (with its restaurants) is also very popular with walkers and anglers. It is always the starting point of the shuttles to Arcachon. Cap Ferret is appreciated by the big fortunes of the CAC 40, the movie and song stars who have bought well hidden houses, often in the 44 hectares area. You will sometimes meet them at Chez Pierre, Chez Hortense, at the Pinasse Café or at the Wharf. Cap Ferret has also been used as a film location for various movies.
