Ville d'Hiver (Arcachon, Nouvelle Aquitaine) 1 Verified Reviews | Tablet Hotels
"Despite its wintry name the Hôtel Ville d’Hiver is anything but chilly. Arcachon is located on France’s southwestern coast, and if it’s not quite Biarritz, it’s not a world away either — take a wander down to the beach if you’re skeptical. And there’s something incredibly inviting about the Ville d’Hiver itself, an old pump house that’s been lovingly restored to a state that belies its humble origins, and now, with its striped columns, archways and red tile roof, resembles some kind of whimsical mash-up between an Italian villa and the famous mosque at Córdoba." - Tablet Hotels
A very interesting walk around the neighbourhood looking at all the old mansions. If you have any interest in period architecture, you'll love looking at these houses.

Interesting looking at these kate 1800 - early 1900 buildings albeit many are understandably behind hedges and walls

Dont miss to walk around this place. The Houses (“Villas”) have a particular hybride style. It’s a mixing of different times, places and architectural styles so the result is quite eclectical.
Most of this houses were built mainly at the end of the XVIII siecle.

Fabulous area to walk around away from the tourist beaches. Quiet streets with lots of interesting large houses, many well preserved and maintained. Plenty of benches to stop and rest while wandering around. Also several nice parks in the vicinity.
