I was in Arcachon in january 2005 and in june 2006 and it were wonderful days. In 2005 my friends, Lionel and Marina, when I came to their house in Bordeaux, offered to me to go to the Atlantic seaside. The second time I enjoyed the city by myself while Lionel has his favorite doing, diving. Last time we visited the place in July of 2011 (red skin as usually :-))
I try to found some stories about the place but all of them say that it's usual sailors village as others in the Atlantic seaside and the official sea resort since 1926. I can add that it's wonderful place for living and I think it's a reason for higher prices for property. And Bearitz is not far away.
In 2005 my friends bought oysters and we ate it on the beach. Fantastic feelings.

you ll be soon again !!!
Pretty good updates, Andrey. I quite agree with you, Arcachon is worth visiting for the third time (I was there once in 1995). A friend of mine is going to Bearitz - it's close to Arcachon. I'll advise him to visit this place.
A nice page, Andrey ! But I have to admit, I absolutely do not like to eat oysters! Interesting to see the "steps of sailors" there, a great idea like the composers in Vienna and the walk of fame in Hollywood !
You looked like the water pleased you a lot. It is a wonderful resort area. Good job of pictures/comments. I invite you to look at my last trip to 112 parks in Utah and Arizona in US. It was an adventure and remote areas scary.
I've never been to the town of Arcachon, but when our children were small we used to go camping near there with French friends who had children of the same age. In the summer, of course, not in January!
A friend of mine just moved to Arcachon, so I hope I'll visit it soon :). Oh...and Happy Birthday, Andrey!
Oysters - Fresh Fish - Ocean breezes -- Salty Air. Very charming place Andrey and it looks like you had a wonderful time with your friends.
nice page
A fun page Andrey! Looks like you had a great time. You can keep your oysters though, ugh! LOL. q(~_~)p
Lovely and funny!!! And what else to expect from a Russian, than to jump into the sea in winter! ;-)
