Arès and its surroundings

Andernos-les-Bains: a little seaside resort on the lip of the bay, it doesn’t get much more peaceful and family-friendly than Andernos-les-Bains. The resort is home to a listed historic monument: the ruins of a Gallo-Roman villa.

Arcachon Bay: Arcachon Bay is famous for its oysters and seaside resorts such as Arcachon, Le Cap Ferret, and Andernos-les-Bains. It is also a protected nature reserve where you might be lucky enough to catch glimpses of wildlife.

Arcachon:  The seaside resort of Arcachon has managed to hold on to its sense of identity through its glorious Belle Epoque-era architecture. A number of villas here remain beautifully well-preserved: Villa Toledo, Villa Trocadéro, Villa Alexandre Dumas, Villa Teresa, Villa Craigcrostan, and Villa Brémontier, to name but a few.

Cap Ferret : welcome to Arcachon Bay’s ultra-chic and well-heeled seaside resort! Le Cap Ferret has a lot going for it: sandy beaches, oyster-farming villages, and an incredible foodie scene.

Dune du Pilat: listed as Europe’s tallest sand dune, the Dune du Pilat is an unforgettable experience. Clamber up to the top and marvel at the views.
