And what if you spent the day on Arguin in the middle of the Arcachon Bay\u2026<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Head to the Banc d\u2019Arguin National Nature Reserve, one of the natural gems of the Arcachon Bay! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the food of the Dune du Pilat<\/a> and facing the Tip of Cap Ferret<\/a>, the Banc d\u2019Arguin continually changes shape according to the winds and marine currents. Arguin is home to a multitude of birds that nest in the sand, which is why it\u2019s essential not to enter the \u201czone de protection int\u00e9grale\u201d (integral protection zone)<\/strong> which is roped off, and it is also important to bring your trash back with you.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Embark on a boat<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You won\u2019t have a choice, to get there you\u2019ll have to take a boat! On board a traditional boat called a \u201cpinasse\u201d, a barge, maritime shuttle<\/a> or a water taxi<\/a>, cross the Bassin to the Banc d'Arguin. Depart from the peninsula of Lege-Cap Ferret<\/a> Depart from the peninsula of L\u00e8ge-Cap Ferret for a boat ride of about 20 minutes or from the port or the Thiers Pier ofArcachon<\/a> for a journey of about 1 hour at sea. For sailing enthusiasts, it is also possible to rent a boat<\/a> for the day.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
