The villages

Le Canon

A REAL VACATION SETTING !

RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE PENINSULA, YOU’LL FIND LITTLE BITS OF SUN-DRENCHED BEACHES, CALM AND TRANQUIL, WITH THE PILAT DUNE IN THE BACKGROUND !

IF A “REAL VACATION” MEANS DOING EVERYTHING YOU LIKE AND NOTHING YOU DON’T, THEN HERE WE IMPROVISE !

The bike path leads easily to the ocean for an afternoon of wave-riding, but also to Cap Ferret for a visit to the iconic lighthouse, or to Piraillan for a trip to the market.

For those who prefer to do nothing, the calm waters of the basin invite you to take a dip in the midst of a fantastic panorama… From the beach, a view of the charming oyster-farming village, with the Pilat Dune in the background: magical !

Getting there is easy.

Follow the map!

Why not take a painting of the basin home with you in your luggage?

At the heart of this dune-side village is an authentic fishermen’s quarter.
Brightly-colored wooden huts line the beach. A stroll through the narrow streets of the oyster-farming village is always the ideal way to soak up the life that is so present here, all year round!

Don’t forget to visit the two exhibition rooms to discover some of the local artists, and take the opportunity to buy a painting from the basin.

And here too, it’s easy to leave with a painting in your luggage…
Landscapes in monochrome colors on raw linen canvases, or exuberant universes on maxi formats…many palettes are on display at Grand Piquey.

Here, every August 15, it’s the meeting place for the whole Presqu’île!

The sea festivals have become a must!
Pinnace regattas, oyster tastings, funfairs and fireworks, young and old, of all styles and persuasions, everyone gathers at Le Canon every August 15.

What a contrast to the usual tranquility so characteristic of this charming village!
