Preparing for your stay

Where to sleep on the Arcachon Bay?

Choosing the right accommodation

Between the Atlantic Ocean, pine forests, oyster farming villages and beaches, the Arcachon Basin offers very different atmospheres depending on where you choose to stay.

Arcachon, the Cap Ferret peninsula, or the northern shore of the Bassin: each area has its advantages. The right choice depends mainly on your preferences, your means of transport, and how you wish to enjoy your stay.

For a holiday focused on peace and quiet, the beach, cycling and exploring the Bassin at your own pace, Taussat-les-Bains, in the commune of Lanton, is a particularly pleasant starting point.
