A daytime workplace, it is possible to meet oyster farmers and their often little-known profession.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the evening, Port Ostr\u00e9icole comes alive with restaurants and tasting huts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What I like about tasting cabins is the \u201craw\u201d side, without embellishment. Tables set near a yellow\u2026 blue\u2026 green hut, fishing nets or tiles as decoration, an oyster farmer opening oysters, a box of homemade terrine and uncorking a bottle of white wine. No need for more to have a good time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The restaurants offer a more elaborate cuisine that showcases seafood\u2026 quality products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Little extra: on Thursday evenings, in summer, around ten local artists exhibit their creations: ideal for a little digestive stroll.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">An institution, the Ar\u00e8s Oyster Festival<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/bassin-arcachon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/-Catherine-Rouchaley-22-e1548082122102.jpg\" alt=\"Musicians in Ar\u00e8s\" class=\"wp-image-7700\" title=\"- - Bassin d&#039;Arcachon\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bassin-arcachon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/-Catherine-Rouchaley-22-e1548082122102.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/bassin-arcachon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/-Catherine-Rouchaley-22-e1548082122102-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/bassin-arcachon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/-Catherine-Rouchaley-22-e1548082122102-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bassin-arcachon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/-Catherine-Rouchaley-22-e1548082122102-18x12.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u00a9 Catherine Rouchaley<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"668\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bassin-arcachon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/PORT-OSTREICOLE-\u00ae-Anah-Lab-1.jpg\" alt=\"Ares\" class=\"wp-image-7701\" title=\"- - Bassin d&#039;Arcachon\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bassin-arcachon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/PORT-OSTREICOLE-\u00ae-Anah-Lab-1.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/bassin-arcachon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/PORT-OSTREICOLE-\u00ae-Anah-Lab-1-600x401.jpg 600w, https:\/\/bassin-arcachon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/PORT-OSTREICOLE-\u00ae-Anah-Lab-1-768x513.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bassin-arcachon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/PORT-OSTREICOLE-\u00ae-Anah-Lab-1-18x12.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u00a9 Anah Lab<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fetedelhuitre.fr\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ares Oyster Festival<\/a>&nbsp;I find a mixture of village festival and feria from the South of France. It&#039;s summer, there are people... we want to take advantage of it, be outside and stay up late!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We find our friends or family there. We sit on large tables installed along the Bassin. Everyone goes looking for something to eat, there is something for everyone (oysters, mussels, sardines, etc.). Sitting down, with a little Bordeaux wine, we toast and put the world to rights, we dance and sing to the sound of the orchestras... in short, we enjoy a festive atmosphere!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bassin-arcachon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/F\u00eate-de-lhuitre-ares-3.jpg\" alt=\"Ares Oyster Festival\" class=\"wp-image-7707\" title=\"- - Bassin d&#039;Arcachon\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bassin-arcachon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/F\u00eate-de-lhuitre-ares-3.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/bassin-arcachon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/F\u00eate-de-lhuitre-ares-3-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/bassin-arcachon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/F\u00eate-de-lhuitre-ares-3-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bassin-arcachon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/F\u00eate-de-lhuitre-ares-3-16x12.jpg 16w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>What I particularly appreciate is the \u201cOyster Festival\u201d scarf proudly worn by the festayres and the rhythm of the pieces played by the banda.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are looking for the spirit of the South-West\u2026 look no further, you are there!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">As a family, it&#039;s even better!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>There are activities for young and old, playgrounds, a bathing area... and a network of professionals <a href=\"http:\/\/www.familleplus.fr\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Family More<\/a> who are committed to making your stay in Ar\u00e8s\u2026 a successful family holiday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Ar\u00e8s, Famille Plus station, children are pampered by shopkeepers, accommodation providers and restaurateurs. Many services are nearby: rental of children&#039;s equipment, childcare department, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In summer, autumn or spring, a wide choice of activities and leisure is offered. At the moment, parents and children enjoy learning about shore fishing with Alexandre, discovering the Pr\u00e9s Sal\u00e9s Nature Reserve with their feet in the water, enjoying a story-telling on the beach or practicing CAP 33 sports activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bassin-arcachon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/FAMILLE-JBoissiere-Office-de-Tourisme-Ares-2017-9-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Ares family\" class=\"wp-image-7705\" title=\"- - Bassin d&#039;Arcachon\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bassin-arcachon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/FAMILLE-JBoissiere-Office-de-Tourisme-Ares-2017-9-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/bassin-arcachon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/FAMILLE-JBoissiere-Office-de-Tourisme-Ares-2017-9-600x450.jpg 600w, https:\/\/bassin-arcachon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/FAMILLE-JBoissiere-Office-de-Tourisme-Ares-2017-9-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bassin-arcachon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/FAMILLE-JBoissiere-Office-de-Tourisme-Ares-2017-9-16x12.jpg 16w, https:\/\/bassin-arcachon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/FAMILLE-JBoissiere-Office-de-Tourisme-Ares-2017-9.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bassin-arcachon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/NATURE-\u00ae-Annah-Lab-6.jpg\" alt=\"Ares\" class=\"wp-image-7706\" title=\"- - Bassin d&#039;Arcachon\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bassin-arcachon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/NATURE-\u00ae-Annah-Lab-6.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/bassin-arcachon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/NATURE-\u00ae-Annah-Lab-6-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/bassin-arcachon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/NATURE-\u00ae-Annah-Lab-6-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bassin-arcachon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/NATURE-\u00ae-Annah-Lab-6-18x12.jpg 18w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><em>\u00a9 Anah Lab<\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On parle souvent d\u2019Ar\u00e8s comme d\u2019un village authentique et convivial.
