A villa walk through Arcachon’s Winter Town

Winding streets, leafy gardens and ornate villas make a good excuse to wander without a checklist.

Take turns choosing the next street or architectural detail to follow. Parc Mauresque and the Sainte-Cécile observatory are good pauses along the way. Streets can be steep, and the villas are private homes, so stay on public paths and respect residents’ privacy.

Make it a date

Leave a little room for the weather, the tide and whatever catches your attention along the way.
