Although Bordeaux is best known for its wine, the pristine beaches and rugged coast of this region are not to be missed.
Miles from the glitz and glamour of Saint Tropez is the Bassin d’Arcachon and its pastel colored coastal villages, bursting with unpretentious charm and authenticity.
The coastline just west of Bordeaux, on the Atlantic ocean, stretches for over 200 miles and boasts pristine, unspoiled beaches with soft white sand, endless pine forests and dramatic sand dunes. From the top of the Dune du Pyla you’ll enjoy a stunning 360 degree panorama of the Atlantic ocean, the bay, the coast and the pine forests, while the shelter of the bay offers the picture-perfect setting for a carefree day aboard a private boat, enjoying the wonderful white wines of Bordeaux and the freshest seafood you can find. For oyster lovers, the Bassin d’Arcachon is home to over 300 independent oyster farmers who would be delighted to share with you fresh oysters plucked straight from the waters of the bay.
It would be a shame to come all the way to Bordeaux and not experience the unique combination of laid-back chic found only in the idyllic villages of Cap Ferret and l’Herbe. Be sure to include a day on the Bassin d’Arcachon during your next trip to Bordeaux.
Let us take you to the region’s best kept secret – but don’t share it with anyone else.
