Most of our châteaux are only 1h15 from the Bay of Arcachon, with the delightful Cap Ferret only a short ferry ride across the bay.

Towards the end of the summer we took a few days out to enjoy this wonderful place. There is something for everyone – choose between Atlantic rollers and surfing to the West or the calm waters and tidal changes of the Bay to the East.

Everything is within easy reach and is delightfully relaxed. One highlight was dashing on our bikes after dinner through the pine forests to see the sunset over the Atlantic.
