From Bordeaux: Arcachon Bay Full-Day Tour and Oyster Lunch｜France

Depart Bordeaux at 9:00 AM and take a 50-minute drive to the majestic Dune of Pilat at Pyla-sur-Mer in Arcachon Bay. Climb the highest sand dune in Europe for a panoramic view (known locally as the “Bassin”) of an inland sea open to the Atlantic Ocean. You will be rewarded by a glass of white wine!

Marvel at the splendid colors of the lagoon, and take in the views of the Landes Forest from the summit.

Then, it's time to do a sightseeing tour of the winter town of Arcachon. Take pictures of those eccentric houses with a unique 19th century architecture. Learn why all the French upper class wanted to build a house in this town.

Famous for its oysters, Arcachon Bay is known for its mild climate and exceptional natural beauty. Enjoy a lunch of some fresh oysters or shrimps served with a glass of white wine from a local producer of the “Bassin.”

Drive back to Bordeaux and get dropped off in the city center at approximately 3:00 PM.
