Overview of your Bordeaux tour:

When in the area of Bordeaux, you should definitely take the opportunity to climb the largest sand dune in Europe: la Dune du Pilat. It's a unique site with beautiful colours: the Atlantic Ocean on one side and the Landes Forest on the other, and only an hour's drive away from the city of Bordeaux. You don't want to miss the Arcachon Bay with its many oyster farms. A few hours before noon, the oysters are collected in the bay and are sailed into the tasting huts. It doesn't get much fresher than that. The oyster bed worker is usually happy to explain the whole procedure of oyster farming … If you choose a full day, a stroll around the village of Arcachon is just lovely. La Ville d'Eté is the beach area. La Ville d'Hiver on the hill side is the 100-year-old part of the village with its many quintessential houses, decorated with delicate wood tracery (neo-gothic to colonial style). You can take the public art-deco lift to go from one area to the other.
