The Arcachon Bay (Bassin d'Arcachon in French) is a protected bay on the Atlantic Ocean in the southwest of France. There are oysters farms in the bay, which are quite famous. You can also see two wooden houses, the "cabanes tchanquées" on the island in the middle of the bay, the isle of the birds.

Photography Tips
