Arcachon & Dune of Pilat Day Trip+ Oyster Tasting

On this excursion from Bordeaux, we'll take you to Arcachon Bay for an oyster tasting and to visit the Dune of Pilat.

Arcachon & Dune of Pilat Day Trip + Oyster Tasting

Meet us in front of the Cité du Vin Museum in Bordeaux for a day trip to two significant sites in the Aquitaine region: Arcachon Bay and the Dune of Pilat.

Our first stop is Gujan-Mestras, the oyster capital of the Arcachon Basin. Here, we'll enjoy an oyster tasting paired with a glass of white wine. You can also request an additional aperitif of shrimp or pâté.

As we taste the coastal flavors, our guide will provide insights into the oyster farming culture of the region, including the characteristics of the oysters from the Arcachon Basin and details about their harvesting.

Next, we'll head to the Dune of Pilat, the tallest sand dune in Europe, reaching a height of 108 meters (354 feet) above sea level. We'll climb the staircase to the summit for breathtaking views of Cap Ferret, the basin mouth, and the Banc d'Arguin. Our guide will share information about this unique ecosystem and its history.

After 5 hours of adventure, we will return to the meeting point in Bordeaux.
