Top Arcachon Culture

Once a tiny fishing village, Arcachon transformed into a thriving seaside resort in just a century, where golden beaches meet grand Belle Époque villas. The town is uniquely divided into four neighborhoods, one for each season. On this self-guided walking tour through the sparkling Summer City and the elegant Winter City, you’ll discover the town’s history, local flavors, and hidden corners. The tour starts at Place Thiers, a square right by the beach, before following the town’s wooden pier, Jetée Thiers, where you’ll hear about Arcachon’s oyster farming legacy. You’ll explore the charming streets of La Ville d’Été (the Summer City), home to Arcachon’s magnificent market and trendy fashion outlets. In Ville d’Hiver, Arcachon’s historic Winter City, opulent villas tell the story of the town’s transformation. The tour ends in Parc Mauresque, a lush retreat that’s perfect for unwinding or enjoying a picnic with the treats you picked up along the way.

The city of Arcachon is divided into 4 districts: the summer city including the center, the winter city with 19th-century villas, autumn city with ports and spring city with its sandy beaches.
