Arcachon is a typical seaside resort with great beaches and lots of hotels. It became popular in the mid 19th century when the positive effect of the sea air against lung diseases was discovered and the rich and famous of that time went there on their holidays.
And also today it's one great choice with lots to see & do in the vicinity.

I'm going there next summer
I do like a good Indian in France. It's so different from the UK version. Make a nice change from Frogs Legs and Snails too :)
I had a really nice holiday with the family in this area. I took lots of photographs but they were all lost whilst they were being processed.
Dune du Pilat seems the perfect place for a Bordeaux or three at sunset ;~)
The beach and dunes at Arcachon looks lovely! I would defenitly make the tandem paragliding if I visit Arcachon.
Definately one place I want to visit Birgit :o) .....fancy them building steps in the sand dunes? haha ;o) ....love your sunset pic!! Hugs xx
Glad you had a good visit to Arcachon. We used to go camping in that area when our children were younger, so I know the region but not Arcachon itself.
Nice coastal French destination. Great that electric cars are used. Cheers, SL :)
Hallo Birgit! Vielen Dank fuer die Ansichtskarte aus Arcachon! Schoenes Foto mit dem Sonnenuntergang! Liebe Gruesse, Lilia
Nice page! I had not previously heard of this town which looks very nice! The sea air & beaches are a wonderful combination!
