Parking in Arcachon.

Arcachon is a French commune in the Gironde department, of which Bordeaux is the prefecture, in the centre of the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region, also represented by Bordeaux. The town of Arcachon is part of the Pays de Buch, the Landes de Gascogne and the Landes forest, the largest artificial forest in Europe, as well as the Arcachon basin. The beautiful town of Arcachon is nowadays a seaside resort attracting many tourists every summer, who want to enjoy its beautiful landscapes. It is home to more than 11.000 temporary inhabitants all year round, even though it is in the centre of an urban unit of almost 70.000 inhabitants. Its population obviously generates a lot of traffic in a fairly small town, which can make parking difficult, as there are only a few spaces available. This is why we are going to share in this article our tips and tricks to be able to park in Arcachon without complication.

Parking zones in Arcachon.

In Arcachon, the policy concerning on-street parking changes according to the season, depending on how many tourists are in town. Inhabitants have the advantage of being able to take out season tickets for free parking. The most peripheral zone of Arcachon is completely free even for visitors throughout the year. A second area closer to the centre and the Arcachon SNCF station is also free for all year round except from 1 April to 30 September. The rest of the town, especially the town centre and the beach area, is not free except at weekends and offers one free hour per day.

Public car parks in Arcachon.

However, with the large number of inhabitants and visitors in the town, all the on-street parking spaces are insufficient to accommodate the many vehicles seeking parking in the area. For this reason, the town of Arcachon also has several public car parks in various locations with a large number of spaces. These car parks are an interesting option for visitors as they are usually secure and sometimes even more economical. We therefore recommend that you compare the different offers of these car parks and book the one that suits you best on the Parkimeter website or application.

The town of Arcachon.

The town of Arcachon is part of the urban unit made up of other seaside resorts in the region such as Royan, Biarritz, La Baule or Les Sables-d'Olonne, all of which welcome tourists who come to visit this beautiful region. Arcachon is very close to the Arcachon basin, but also to the Dune du Pilat and, as mentioned above, to the Landes forest. In addition, the commune is very pretty and attractive for visitors who discover it.
