REGION OF AQUITAINE : BASSIN D'ARCACHON
The Bassin d'Arcachon is a haven for outdoor-lovers. Over 100km of coastline from south of Arcachon to Cap Ferret, beaches for everyone from toddlers to championship surfers; pine forests, sand dunes, chic towns, historic oyster-farming villages, and cycle trails to discover it all by. Every water-sport imaginable. An abundance of nature, especially for bird-watchers. And, in common with the rest of this part of France, it's very family-friendly and oozes a laid-back, un-self conscious style that makes quickly you feel at home. A delight!
