The Allure of Aquitaine & Arcachon Bay

It’s a dynamic landscape where the tip of the Cap Ferret promontory meets the famous resort town of Arcachon. The bay’s coastline is dotted with charming towns, traditional fishing ports, and vibrant holiday resorts like Lanton (home to Aiguilles Vertes golf club) and Andernos-les-Bains, with its long pier and promenade.

Gujan-Mestras, where Maison Du Lagon is located, is a thriving town on the south side of the bay, just beside Arcachon. Here you’ll find everything you need: supermarkets, acclaimed restaurants, unique shops, local beaches, a golf course, a museum, and endless scenic walks along the bay.

A short drive from the villa brings you to Le Teich and its renowned Ornithological Reserve, a magical spot for birdwatchers in Aquitaine to observe a wide array of bird species in their natural environment – binoculars are a must!

From neighbouring Arcachon, you can access the longest, sandiest stretch of coastline in Europe, extending 200 kilometers southwards towards Biarritz. Don’t miss the opportunity to visit the Dune du Pilat, Europe’s highest sand dune, whose shifting summit provides panoramic views across to Cap Ferret and beyond. While cars can’t cross by ferry from Cap Ferret to Arcachon, bikes are welcome, offering a scenic way to explore.

Aquitaine’s reputation as a diverse and enchanting destination is well-earned. Whether you’re seeking ultimate relaxation, thrilling outdoor adventures, wine tasting tours, or rich cultural experiences, this beautiful part of Southwest France is a feast for the senses.
