Go sailing, surfing, canoeing, standup-paddle or just swim on both sides of the basin as well as in the sea. On the <strong>Dune du Pilat,<\/strong>the highest sand dune in Europe, you have a beautiful view over the pine forests of Les Landes and the Atlantic Ocean. Discover the most beautiful places by bike on the excellent bike paths and eat at excellent renowned restaurants. The luxury hotel <strong>La Co(o)rniche,<\/strong>designed by French designer Phille Starck, is a household name in the area. In Michelin-starred restaurant <strong>Le Patio<\/strong> by chef Thierry Renou, the oysters are prepared in a variety of ways. On <strong>Cap Ferret<\/strong> barefoot in the sand of the terraces and in the tasting rooms of oyster farmers you will experience their expertise and hospitality in full. Enjoy the ever-fresh oysters, wiges, alikruiken, shrimp and homemade p\u00e2t\u00e9s. Accompanied by white wine and ros\u00e9 from the region with spectacular views in the background, your France trip is complete. Highly recommended is the small atmospheric village <strong>of Ar\u00e8s<\/strong> where you can avoid the crowds. End your holiday day with dinner at the local Chez Alcide restaurant and enjoy stunning views of Basin d&#8217;Arcachon over an authentic meal. <em>Where the world can&#8217;t find you&#8230;<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Taste oysters, bike and relax with your feet in the sand<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":296,"featured_media":145787,"parent":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"country":[265],"highlight_category":[600],"continent_category":[264],"class_list":["post-146539","highlights","type-highlights","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","country-france","highlight_category-hoogtepunt-en","continent_category-europe"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/staging.untamedtravelling.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/highlights\/146539","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/staging.untamedtravelling.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/highlights"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/staging.untamedtravelling.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/highlights"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staging.untamedtravelling.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/296"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staging.untamedtravelling.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=146539"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/staging.untamedtravelling.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/highlights\/146539\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staging.untamedtravelling.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/145787"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/staging.untamedtravelling.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=146539"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"country","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staging.untamedtravelling.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/country?post=146539"},{"taxonomy":"highlight_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staging.untamedtravelling.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/highlight_category?post=146539"},{"taxonomy":"continent_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/staging.untamedtravelling.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/continent_category?post=146539"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
