On Monday we drove down to Arcachon, a stopover on our way to Arles. This little coastal city is at the midpoint of an excellent set of bike paths that stretch down along the Atlantic coast, many set in the managed forests the French keep just behind the dunes. We are staying at an old 1880's hotel set in an old resort community built when the train line first reached the coastal town from nearby Bordeaux which is about forty miles inland. The architecture is stunning, old highly decorated and turreted summer homes all set around a beautiful park and belvedere. Here are a few examples all within several blocks of the hotel.
