If you have ever lived or spent time in Bordeaux, you have probably heard of Arcachon. We did, and the truth is that we looked it up immediately and saved it for a day trip (even though it was the end of winter, we wanted to see the sea!). We spent almost two months living in Bordeaux as digital nomads, and one day we decided to rent a car and take the excursion. The result? One of the best outings we had during our entire stay in the southwest of France<\/a>. In this guide, we tell you everything about things to do in Arcachon<\/strong>, from the famous coastal town<\/strong> to the impressive Dune of Pilat<\/strong>, so you can organize your visit without missing anything.<\/p>\n Arcachon is a coastal town located about 70 km from Bordeaux, on the shores of the bay that bears its name. It is famous for its oysters<\/strong>, its 19th-century summer villa architecture<\/strong>, and, above all, for being the gateway to the largest dune in Europe. If you are in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region, including it in your route is practically mandatory.<\/p>\n Do you want to know if it’s worth it?
