Discover Biganos

Biganos is a small town located in the center of the Basin just a few steps from the ornithological reserve of Teich. It is a pleasantly picturesque city due to the existence of its port which is established in the forest as well as another a little more authentic which concerns a priori that of the Tiles.

Several are the entertaining activities to do within Biganos such as hiking, cycling and canoeing to better explore the landscapes. This miniature common of the south-west of France finds refuge in the heart of the Landes de Gascogne regional park. You will therefore have the opportunity to visit the latter during a trip to Biganos while discovering an endemic and rich fauna and flora.

Part of the Gironde department in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region, the city is specifically bordered by the Bassin d'Arcachon and is majestically located at the crossroads of the north and south of this huge natural pool. To travel conveniently through the villages of Biganos at affordable prices, you can take the SNCF at Facture-Biganos station which is part of the Bordeaux-Irun lines.

During a journey in the city, do not hesitate to visit the 2 ports immensely reflecting the authenticity by preserving their pinnaces as well as their oyster farming huts. The first, including the port of Biganos, which has been classified as a protected area, is a magnificent place located in the heart of the city's forest, while the second, the port of Les Tuiles, is reserved for the shores.

For a cultural visit, the Cassadotte mill with its fish farming and caviar production is an excellent escape break to discover in depth these 2 activities which strongly drive the economy of the city. Also explore the Saint-Gervais church, built in 1886, which contains magnificent Roman baptismal fonts. Finally, end the day by tasting delicious oysters at the good tables of Biganos which offer the best local specialities.
