Sunset on Arcachon - Arcachon

Sunset on Arcachon

Sunset on the basin

Favorite thing: Il est possible d'assister à de somptueux couchers de soleil sur le bassin. Que ce soit depuis l'une des nombreuses plages, ou depuis un bateau sur le lac, car les pêcheurs organisent des promenades, notamment le soir, pour voir le coucher du soleil depuis le milieu du bassin.
Depuis les plages qui donnent sur l'océan, on assiste au coucher de soleil sur les flots, et on peut alors voir le fameux "point vert". Le dernier rayon de soleil, à la surface de l'eau est d'un vert intense, de toute beauté, très fugitif, pratiquement impossible à saisir en photo, mais inoubliable !

Fondest memory: It is possible to attend sumptuous sunset on the basin. That it is since one the numerous beaches, or since a boat on the lake, because the fishers organize some walks, notably in the evening, to see to lie down it of the sun since the middle of the basin.
Since the beaches that give on the ocean, one attends the sunset on the streams, and one can see the famous "green point" then. The last sunbeam, to the surface of water is of a green intense, beautiful, very fugitive, practically impossible to seize in photo, but unforgettable !

Arcachon

Favorite thing: Le bassin d'Arcachon est un étang qui est en contact avec la mer. Le niveau de l'eau monte et descends en fonction des marées, l'eau y est saumâtre.
C'est une endroit réputé pour le huîtres, les moules et les coquillage.
L'ensemble du bassin, entouré de nombreux villages de pêcheurs est très touristique.

Fondest memory: The basin of Arcachon is a pond that is in contact with the sea. The level of water goes up and descend according to the tides, water is there brackish.
It is one place reputed for the oysters, the molds and the shellfish.
The set of the basin, surrounded many villages of fishers is very tourist.

Forest near the beach - Arcachon

Forest near the beach

Beaches and forest

Favorite thing: The forest comes up to side from the beaches, what is good, to make of catnaps, so that the children have fun, or for the picnic.

Fondest memory: Attention, fires are forbidden, the forest of pines of Les Landes is very fragile !

Dune du Pila - Arcachon

Dune du Pila

The dune du Pila

Favorite thing: The dune du Pila is the highest of the world. Tourist site very frequented, there is always a lot world, especially the days where it is not fine enough to go to the beach to bathe.

Fondest memory: The natural site to been arranged, not to suffer the number too important from tourists, and also to put to the merchants of the temple to take advantage of the godsend.
Wait therefore for yourselves at a parking lot, obligatory and paying, has boutiques of memories, drinks and sandwiches, before which you will be obliged to pass to return you in top of the dune.
The ascension is not difficult, I even achieved it with people to reduced mobility, without problem.
