La Cite du Vin (Pass By)
After meeting your guide in front of the Cité du Vin, you will take the road to Gujan-Mestras in an air-conditioned 9-seater van. On the road (1 hour) your guide will tell you the history of oyster farming in the region and answer all your questions.
Gujan-Mestras
Our first stop will be at the port of Larros, in Gujan-Mestras, the oyster capital of the Arcachon Bay!
We will go to a local restaurant offering fresh oysters from the bay. You will have the opportunity to taste up to 12 oysters accompanied by a glass of wine (white or rosé) while admiring the view of the port channel.
For those who don't like oysters, shrimp, whelks or pâté are also available.
1 hour 25 minutes
Great Dune of Pilat
We will continue with the highest dune in Europe, the Dune of Pilat (100 meters high). After parking under the pines, you will climb with your guide to the top. The dune is equipped with a staircase, but you can also climb into the sand.
At the top you will be dazzled by the panoramic view of the Atlantic Ocean, the Cap Ferret peninsula and the forest behind the dune. An unforgettable experience.
To better enjoy it, your guide will give you some free time to explore the dune.
1 hour 20 minutes
La Cite du Vin (Pass By)
Once the visit to the Pilat dune is over, you will take the road (1h15) north towards Bordeaux where your guide will drop you off near the Cité du Vin.
