Arcachon

During our journey along the Atlantic coast, we decided to visit the town of Arcachon, known throughout France for its quality of life and magnificent beach.

In this article, we invite you to discover this ultra-famous town in Aquitaine, where the golden sand beckons you!

Arcachon Beach

We found Arcachon beach very pleasant and peaceful, perfect for relaxation, strolling, or even building sandcastles!

On this April day, the water was blue, calm but a bit chilly for swimming.

We took out the drone to capture some aerial views (see photos below). From above, we realized the beauty of the place.

Seaside Promenade.

We strolled along the Arcachon beach on the perfectly landscaped promenade. There are numerous bars and restaurants, and the promenade is perfect for a family walk.

The Thiers pier, a large wooden pier with a big Ferris wheel and some attractions, is the place to be in Arcachon! Firstly, it's a very pleasant spot for a walk, and there's a lively atmosphere. This place reminds us of some piers in Florida; we loved it.

Boat Connections to Bird Island

From Arcachon, you can take one of the many boats for a trip to Bird Island, an ideal nature reserve for observing wildlife.

Departure times are frequent, and all information is available directly at the Thiers pier, near the pier: Thiers Pier.
