Depart Bordeaux’s cruise dock for a day filled with ocean air and local flavor on Arcachon Bay. Your private guide leads up to 8 guests through pretty seaside villages, bustling markets, and iconic landscapes—starting with the legendary oyster farms and bustling port of Arcachon.
Sample fresh oysters and seafood at local producers, stroll the chic promenade, and visit colorful market stalls brimming with regional specialties. The adventure peaks at the Dune du Pilat, Europe’s tallest sand dune: climb (if mobility allows) for sweeping Atlantic views and learn about the region’s unique ecology.
Optional lunch (at own expense) highlights local fish, shellfish, and wine. Discover the balance between Arcachon’s Belle Époque heritage and modern beach culture throughout your trip—a perfect blend for cruise guests seeking fresh culinary and scenic experiences.
