Visit the Cap Ferret lighthouse
Decouverte
The must-haves
Unwind on the Banc d’Arguin
HERE YOU CAN BATHE IN THE CRYSTAL-CLEAR WATER!
A magical spot!
A boat trip to the remarkably situated Banc d’Arguin is a popular excursion
But it’s such a magical place that you’ll want to stay awhile. It’s a favourite with the locals! A 360° view, with the Pointe du Cap Ferret and its lighthouse standing sentinel to the north, the 110-metre high mountain of sand, the Dune du Pilat to the east, and the ocean stretching as far as the eye can see to the west, make it one of the most attractive nature reserves.
Stroll along the sand or bathe in the crystal-clear water.
And share a picnic on the sandbank!
Or do nothing in particular, just unwind and simply enjoy being here with your family or your friends.
These moments and the picnic – an essential part of the day out at Arguin – will give you a precise idea of what real holidays are all about.
