Jetée de la Chapelle, Historic pier in Arcachon, France
The Chapelle Pier extends into the Atlantic Ocean from Arcachon's waterfront, featuring the prominent Sailors' Cross at its entrance point.
The original pier structure from 1902 consisted of four crossbeams and basic stairs before undergoing modernization improvements with lampposts in 1905.
Maritime traditions remain strong at the pier, where passing boats historically sounded three horn signals requesting protection from Saint Mary.
The pier provides wheelchair and stroller accessibility, free Wi-Fi connectivity, and strategic placement near the Notre-Dame Basilica for convenient exploration.
Adjacent to the pier, the Saint Yves villa marks a location known as Saint-Yves Hole, featuring unusually deep waters that attract diving enthusiasts.
