Area & Experiences

Facing Arcachon Bay, the village of Canon cultivates a mixture of styles, where architects’ wooden villas and traditional fishermen’s cabins exist side by side. Between land and sea, its lagoon is populated with traditional pinewood boats as well as by gulls and egrets that hunt in the oyster beds. Under the green foliage, Villa du Cap hides in the shade of a pine forest next to the waters.

Our nearby experiences

Take a detour

Join our passionate local guide on a tour of the coastal trails. She will take you for an unusual hike through the wilderness and villages of her childhood. Push open closed doors, take secret paths and meet her favorite producers as you go along the coastline.

Put on the boots of an oyster farmer

Set out on Christian's flat-bottomed oyster boat early in the morning and wade into the water near his oyster farm at low tide. Here, equipped with boots and gloves, you’ll learn the craft of oyster farming and the life cycle of oysters. Christain cheerfully urges you on as you open the oysters: “this gives you strength”.

Tasting at sea

Leave the beach of L'Herbe on a traditional pinasse boat, in the company of a passionate oenologist Gildas and a supply of oysters from the bay. As Gildas presents his selection of Bordeaux grands crus on the boat's glazed deck, enjoy the discovery of his favorite wine and seafood combinations with the bird island’s huts on stilts on the horizon.
