Côte d'Argent

The Côte d'Argent extends along the French Atlantic coast with extensive sandy beaches and natural dunes forming a continuous stretch of shoreline.

The development of this coastal area into a tourism destination began in the late 19th century with the arrival of railway connections to major cities.

Local fishing communities maintain maritime traditions through regular fish markets and seafood festivals that highlight regional gastronomy throughout the year.

Multiple beach resorts, including Arcachon, offer accommodations ranging from camping sites to hotels, with direct access to water activities and coastal paths.

The Silver Coast contains the longest uninterrupted sand beach in Europe, extending over 200 kilometers along the Atlantic Ocean.
