If we were to summarise what sets Arcachon\u2019s Bassin apart, apart from its famous landscapes? It is that extra touch of soul, that way of living and savouring the moment, that you find here.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Bassin shapes and transforms us. It gives us a way of being and seeing that is unlike any other.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here, to find out what the weather will be like, we look at the sea just as much as we look at the sky. We keep our eyes on the open sea rather than on land. 
Here, more than anywhere else, we recognise the scent of the sea when it mingles with the salt and the forest humus. The Bassin is also about a thousand and one little habits \u2013 those ways of life passed down since time immemorial that have shaped us.\u00a0 Some have become traditions. Others have become rituals, and sometimes forms of art or craftsmanship. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The spirit of the Bassin region is unmistakable. It is an underlying characteristic. It is to our tourism what a quality label is to local produce: the hallmark of the region\u2019s way of life.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
