Discovering the Arcachon Basin

Your Slow Village campsite in Biscarrosse

The Slow Village Biscarrosse campsite is located in Port Maguide, right on the shores of a magnificent lake.
The atmosphere is peaceful and the comfort of the site will provide you with everything you need for a pleasant stay.
Your vacation destination is also within easy reach of numerous sights and restaurants. The Slow Village Biscarrosse campsite is the ideal base for exploring the surrounding area. Situated between a lake and the ocean, all you have to do is choose the direction of your next discovery, and enjoy cycling along the many cycle paths.
The beaches of the Atlantic Ocean are famous for surfing and the "energetic" nature of the waves.
The lakes, on the other hand, allow you to relax and enjoy the water with the kids. The water is calm (no waves as strong as on the ocean), which is ideal for younger children!
You can also enjoyfun and sporting activities all around the lake, notably at Aqua Park, just a few steps from the Biscarrosse lake campsite! Conquer the many inflatable modules!
Biscarrosse is the ideal place to spend your vacations, both on the lake side and on the ocean side. And if you head north along the coast, you'll soon reach the Arcachon basin!

 

What to see around the famous Bassin d'Arcachon

There are many emblematic places to see on the shores of the Arcachon Basin. The basin is world-renowned for its natural and historical sites, particularly around La Teste de Buch and Andernos.

Here are the top 7 things you absolutely must put on your list for your future stay near Arcachon :

 

  • Le petit train d'Arcachon (this tourist classic is a must-see, as it takes you through Arcachon's typical winter town and historic district).
  • L'île aux oiseaux (several shuttles take you there) or rent a sea kayak for a sporty adventure on your own.
  • Les Cabanes Tchanquées (near the island, well worth a visit)
  • Parc Mauresque (lovely view of the city)
  • The Dune du Pilat (not Dune du Pyla, unbelievable)
  • The architecture of Notre-Dame-des-Passes church
  • Theaquarium (history of oyster farming, aquatic fauna and flora, all in an atypical, vintage setting)

In this magical part of Gironde, head to the Pointe du Cap Ferret to admire the dune on the other side of the basin, and don't forget to taste the oysters, stroll along the beaches at low tide to photograph the boats on the sand, and for the more adventurous, paragliding on the Dune du Pilat is a breathtaking experience!
