It is known for its diverse natural landscapes, picturesque oyster villages, sandy beaches, dunes and pine forests. The basin is fed by the Atlantic Ocean, but also by several rivers, notably the Leyre and the Dordogne. It is home to a rich and varied flora and fauna, including migratory birds, fish, crustaceans and shellfish. The main tourist activities in the Arcachon Bay are swimming, water sports, fishing, boat trips, tasting fresh oysters in oyster huts, as well as exploring traditional villages such as Arcachon, La Teste-de-Buch, Andernos-les-Bains and Le Canon. Oysters from the Arcachon Basin are famous for their quality and unique flavor. They are produced in the Arcachon Basin, a coastal region located in the southwest of France. The basin is an ideal location for oyster cultivation because it has a favorable microclimate, nutrient-rich water and a shoreline conducive to oyster growth. There are two main types of oysters produced in the Arcachon Bay, the flat oyster and the cupped oyster. The flat oyster is larger and flatter than the cupped oyster, it has a thick shell and firm flesh. The cupped oyster is smaller and rounder, it has a thin shell and more tender flesh. Oysters from the Arcachon Basin are harvested by hand by oyster farmers. They are then sorted, washed and packaged for sale. Oysters from the Arcachon Basin are considered one of the best oysters in France and around the world, highly prized for their delicate flavor and fine texture.
