Arcachon, Winter Town loop

The walk starts at the Thiers jetty, which offers a beautiful panoramic view of the Bassin of Arcachon, with the Île-aux-Oiseaux and the famous Cabanes Tchanquées. Take Boulevard Marcel-Gounouilhou along the beach to the former Grand Hôtel. Rue du Maréchal-de-Lattre-de-Tassigny takes you to the foot of the lift providing access to the Parc Mauresque and the Ville d'Hiver. In the maze of streets, discover these timelessly charming villas, each different from the next and all magnificently preserved! Climb to the top of the Sainte-Cécile Observatory! To complete your tour, a stop at the Chapelle des Marins will take you back to the very origins of Arcachon...
