Visiting heritage sites

Get on-board for a unique experience, on the lakes of Carcans-Hourtin or Lacanau, on the Gironde Estuary or out at sea. From a catamaran to a sailing boat, choose the boat you would like to climb aboard, to discover Cordouan, the caves of Meschers or even to watch the sunset from the lakes. The boat masters of Médoc Atlantique have a large choice of activities on offer during your holidays, for all generations.

It's spitting during your holiday, don't panic. A rainy day does not necessarily mean a miserable day! Make the most of this weather to discover the sheltered places. Here are some ideas for guided tours and museums away from the rain, or under an umbrella, from the wine château to craft factories.
