Incentive trips to Arcachon Bay : a completely different experience !

The Gironde department is known for its charming vineyards and great châteaux, but have you heard anyone mention Arcachon Bay? After all, this popular tourist destination is just 30 minutes from Bordeaux.
Located between the Landes forest and the Atlantic Ocean, this "little inland sea" is also a paradise for business tourism. The Banc d'Arguin, Dune de Pilat, cabanes tchanquées (houses built in the water on stilts), and l'Île aux Oiseaux are among the most famous sights in an area redolent of salt air

and pine trees.
Arcachon Bay offers a winning combination of modernity and nature for all your special events. What an incredible taste of adventure just three hours from Paris! Come and discover all the bay has to offer!
