A wonderful boat trip on the Arcachon Bay. We were lucky enough to see a beautiful sunset and get very close to the stilted huts. Chris is a very pleasant and attentive captain. This format, with a maximum of 8 passengers, allows for conversation and listening to fascinating anecdotes about the region. Thank you so much!
