Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter, Arcachon reflects the colours of the four
seasons, and conjugates the elements. Blue, yellow, green and red blend
under an artist's paintbrush : the neighbourhoods are the models; each has its
season, its people, its history, its heritage. Four towns in one. From January
to December, Arcachon offers four facettes, one per neighbourhood, each named
after each of the seasons.
Arcachon, a seaside resort on the Bay of the same name, was born
from the salt air, pine forest scent, the train, and a stroke of genius
businessmen of the last century: the Pereire brothers. In the spring of 1862,
avenues and streets are traced; a casino and mansions emerge from the sand.
