Church overlooking the city of Arcachon, remarkable for its Greek Orthodox style reminiscent of Byzantine churches
Overlooking the town of Arcachon, the church, a former Dominican convent, is remarkable for its Greek Orthodox style, reminiscent of Byzantine churches. Built in 1863 on top of a dune, it was enlarged in 1928 and became a parish church in 1993. The choir and nave are adorned with superb frescoes, mainly depicting angels. Its special feature? A statue, almost unique in France, of the Virgin Mary in pregnancy, known as La Vierge de l'Avent.

Il faut passer une journée dans le quartier du MOULLEAU, pour profiter éventuellement de la plage et de la vue qu'elle offre sur la dune du Pilat et le banc d'Arguin. Puis vous montez à l'église Notre Dame des passes pour admirer son style byzantin et toscan , la statue de la vierge enceinte, avant de rejoindre tous les noctambules, qui traînent dans les boutiques, les glaciers et les bars.
