Bassin d'Arcachon

In the Middle of the Cote d'Argent the straight coastline suddenly forms a lagoon. Famous for its natural beautiful, fine beaches and oysters, the Bassin d'Arcachon is a protected area, perfect for holidaymakers, sailing enthusiasts and oyster-eaters.

The basin is dotted with smaller amorphous resorts, beaches and fishing/oyster village, all worth exploring.
