In Aquitaine you'll find a sunny weather, a remarkable history, an ideal geography, convivial traditions, incontrovertible places and tourist sites.
You stay in the peninsula of Lège Cap Ferret, a protected and genuine environment, you can
discover the Basin of Arcachon on foot, by bike, by boat… Discover the beaches of the basin, the
beaches of the ocean, the headland of the peninsula, between the ocean and the basin, the lighthouse
of Cap Ferret, the "cabanes tchanquées" ( cabins built on piles), the island of birds and the bank of
Arguin, climb up the dune of Pilat and observe an unusual and amazing world. Go and discover
natural inland sites such as the salt meadows, the ornithological park of Tech, canoe down the valley
of Leyre. Go and meet the oyster farmers and ask them questions about their know-how and savour
their produce in their cabins.

50 km from the beaches, take time and discover the numerous historical monuments such as the "Grand Théâtre", the "Place de la Bourse", Saint André Cathedral, come and stroll in the old precincts of Saint Michel and Saint Pierre, get some fresh air on the banks of Chartrons and cross the Garonne via Pierre bridge. Savour a "cannelé" while waiting for the tramway.
Leave the basin in the south direction and come and explore the wild beaches of Porge, Lacanau, Carcans and so on... just as its natural lakes, lengthen your stay visiting the chateaux and the vineyards of the site, savour some great wines (in moderation), discover Margaux, Pauillac, Saint Estèphe, Saint Julien...
Just get a complete change of scene in the middle of the largest forest massif of France, the dunes, the beaches, the discovery of a cultural and historical heritage, the commentary and the demonstration of gemology (pine gum resin use).
