Arcachon, France Travel Guide

Scenic spot introduction:

Arcachon is the location of the most famous oyster farm in France. In the 19th century, Arcachon, as a coastal city, became a favorite seaside resort for European aristocrats due to its unique and magnificent natural beauty. The area has vast forests, miles of white sandy beaches, tranquil bays, and is adjacent to the endless ocean. It has a mild climate and a beautiful environment.

Attractions distribution:

Arcachon was designed and built by the Pereir brothers in 1852. After they built hotels and villas here, they invited Napoleon III, the Queen, painters and other celebrities to come here for publicity purposes, making it a place that the upper class flocked to. The winter and summer towns are the most distinctive parts of this town named after the four seasons. The winter town (La Ville d'Hiver) is where the rich live, and there are still luxurious villas built in the 19th century with unique styles. The summer town (La Ville d'été) is located in the coastal area between the two docks, presenting a different landscape. The town has a permanent population of about 12,000, but it can surge to about 200,000 during the peak holiday season. In Arcachon, taking a yacht tour around the bay, or renting a multi-seater bicycle nicknamed Dingo, and taking your family to explore the scenery of the bay town are all life pleasures.
