Nautism
The Bay of Arcachon is a high place for yachting, renowned for his beauty, diversity, complexity. Sandbanks, channels, oyster beds are inherent elements in landscape just like the famous Cabanes tchanquées, le Banc d’Arguin, while offering a stunning view of the towns, beaches, villages & on the Dune. Thereby our co-worker know the moving cartography of the seabed and will be able to bring you to the best places according to the weather conditions (tide, wind,storm…).
Ocean Beaches
The city of La Teste-De-Buch is one of the largest town by its surface in France. It owes it to the user-forest which extends to the department of the Landes along the Silver Coast. Therefore, following the quiet beaches of Pyla sur Mer and the wonderful sand Dune of Pilat, you’ll find the ocean beaches which stretched over 18 kilometers, where breezes the Atlantic waves delighting thrill amateurs and large spaces lovers.
Heart Of The Bay
Midway between Arcachon and the Cap-Ferret peninsula, the Heart of the Bay reveals itself to the most curious ones. Between coastline, the Leyre river, the pine forest… this area is offering colored and natural landscapes. There, in the heart of the Natural Park of the Landes of Gascogne, passed down a cultural and natural heritage to protect. We invite you to discover it on foot,with a bike or on water. You can meet those who preserved the custom and natural spaces and take the time to share our territory.
Lake Area
Cazaux and Sanguinet lake is one of the biggest from the Landes area. It’s allocated between the Buch country (Bay of Arcachon) in the north and the Born country (Parentis area) in the South. This natural lake has unsalted and calm waters and a weak depth on tis shore. It’s also a protected and humid zone with remarkable fauna & flora. All of these elements make this area a little paradise, surrounded by greenery & pines, and is ideal for nautical activities and group animations.
Gastronomy & Traditions
By its geographical location, its configuration, and its Gascon origins, the country of Buch is rich by its history. Whether through fishermen, oyster farmers or resin collectors, the traditions are strong. Architecture also had an important part when the region started growing more popular. Thus, beautiful houses with singular aspects and mixing influences arose at the beginning of the XXth century, and gave us a unique heritage. Gastronomy also plays an important role, with many typical products, oysters… but not only.
