Arcachon and its history
The Ville d’Hiver is a historic 19th-century district that you can stroll through on foot to admire the elegant villas, now listed, built in picturesque architecture. Allee Faust in particular, near the Moorish park, is exceptional in its own right.
You can visit the unique, protected site of the Source des Abatilles, part of Arcachon’s heritage. You’ll discover the history of the spring and the different stages of production (visit to the bottling plant and tasting).
