Arcachon is divided into different areas that bear the name ofthe four seasons (summer, autumn, winter and spring). The "Summer town/ La ville d’été" is the area closest to the sea, this is where you will find the main attractions of Arcachon: its big wheel, restaurants, painters, cafes, casino and stores. The Summer City is so nice that it might be enough to please you, but please take time to visit the top of the city "Winter town / Ville d’hiver" that offers a greater architectural diversity.
