A 5-day city trip to Bordeaux and Arcachon for your group: the quays and Cité du Vin of Bordeaux, Saint-Émilion, the Arcachon Bay, the Dune du Pilat and Cap Ferret oysters.

Bordeaux, whose “Port of the Moon” is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, unfolds its 18th-century façades along the Garonne, from Place de la Bourse to the Water Mirror. To the east, Saint-Émilion, a medieval village surrounded by prestigious vineyards, hides a monolithic church carved into the limestone. To the west, the Arcachon Bay offers the Dune du Pilat, the highest in Europe, and the oyster-farming villages of Cap Ferret.
