Here’s an overview of your tour

We'll begin by departing from your hotel in Bordeaux promptly at 9:45 AM. Our journey will take us approximately 1 hour and 20 minutes to reach the renowned Oyster Town, where we'll kick off our day with a delightful glass of wine accompanied by fresh oysters and seafood, allowing you to savor the authentic flavors of the region.

Following our gastronomic indulgence, a leisurely stroll through the charming streets of Arcachon awaits, offering an opportunity to admire the town's distinctive architecture and seek out a renowned local dessert unique to this area.

Next on our itinerary is a visit to the iconic Dune du Pilat, Europe's tallest sand dune standing at an impressive 106.6 meters high and stretching over 3 kilometers. Prepare to be captivated by the ever-changing and awe-inspiring vistas from this natural wonder.

In addition to indulging in fine wine, cuisine, and scenic vistas, I'm eager to share a glimpse of France's rich history with you. We'll explore the evolution of seaplane development, spanning from the early 1900s to the 1960s, through engaging exhibits featuring scale models, mock-ups, period attire, and informative presentations showcasing technological advancements and enhanced passenger comfort.

As the day progresses, I propose unwinding at a serene beach, offering a tranquil setting for relaxation, leisurely strolls, or perhaps a refreshing swim to cool off. We'll discover a secluded spot where we can savor the serenity together, away from the crowds.

Around 7 PM, we'll make our way back to Bordeaux, but not before savoring a delectable dinner experience at a charming sushi restaurant. Indulge in a fusion of local ingredients and expert culinary craftsmanship. The tour price includes dinner and a complimentary cocktail, with additional beverages available for purchase should you wish to indulge further.

As our unforgettable journey comes to a close, I'll bid you farewell with a warm smile, already looking forward to our next adventure together!
