Discover La Teste-de-Buch

Few people know this, but La Teste-de-Buch is one of the largest communes in France, covering 100 square miles. This impressive surface area allows it to offer a variety of landscapes. Forests, lakes, ocean and of course residential areas… its appeal lies in its diversity. On the other hand, everyone knows its famous Dune of Pilat. Located in the neighbourhood of the seaside resort of Pyla-sur-Mer, adjacent to La Teste-de-Buch, it measures between 325 and 375 feet high, over 1.8 miles long and over 2,000 feet wide. Officially the tallest dune in Europe, it is constantly moving under the influence of wind and tide. This does not prevent two million visitors from reaching its peak each year. If you want to give it a go, choose the West slope. Facing the ocean, its incline varies between 5 and 20°, unlike the eastern face, which reaches 30°. When you reach the top, take in the superb views of the mouth of Arcachon Bay, the Cap Ferret peninsula and the nearby forests. But don’t forget to admire the flora that grows there, as well as the many animal species that live nearby.
Off the beaten track, the residents of La Teste-de-Buch have a particular fondness for their lake, the Lake of Cazaux, a stone’s throw from the All Suites aparthotel in La Teste-de-Buch. There you can practice many water sports including sailing, canoeing and paddle boarding. They also like to spend time at the oyster port. From here you can go by bike or on foot to discover the freshwater and salt marshes. Whether you’re on holiday or just spending a weekend in La Teste-de-Buch, you’ll be surprised by their landscapes that change with the seasons and tides. One piece of advice, arrange to be there at least once at sunset. The twilight colours are spectacular. In this area you can also admire the beautiful fishing huts of Aiguillon.

An incredible zoo in La Teste-de-Buch

Rent accommodation in the La Teste-de-Buch aparthotel and stay close to Arcachon Zoo. It is permanently home to 800 animals. Some, such as Indian rhinos, snow panthers and white tigers, are particularly rare. It is open from 9 February to 31 December and offers several daily educational activities. At certain times, for an additional fee, you can also walk in the shoes of a zookeeper, feed the animals and visit certain areas that are not normally accessible to the general public.
