太西洋大飯店

A few minutes' walk from the beach, the Best Western Arcachon le Port, Arcachon, France, looks out from a roof terrace with panoramic views, a short stroll from Eyrac beach and the harbour, with a buffet breakfast of hot and cold dishes and local products, and rooms fitted with a flat-screen television, some with a sitting area or a view of the sea or the town. An electric-vehicle charging point, private parking, free Wi-Fi, and a concierge service add to the ease, and light meals are served in the bar or the room through the day. The seaside setting keeps the harbour and the sand close at hand. Arcachon is a graceful resort on its great tidal bay, ringed by oyster beds and pine forest, with the Belle Epoque villas of the Ville d'Hiver climbing the slope behind the seafront, the towering Dune of Pilat, the highest sand dune in Europe, just along the shore, and the birds of the Teich reserve close by. Out on the bay, the oyster boats work the shallows.
