Today we decided to show Arcachon to our grandchildren, they were moderately up for it, but I have more than one trick up my sleeve! (wink from Grandma)
The meeting point is close to the model of the Casino Mauresque, at the top of the elevator. Christiane and her band of enthusiasts await us in period costume.
“Oyez Oyez good people, the visit will start soon, thank you for coming forward. We are going to meet the emblematic characters who have stayed in the villas of our charming Ville d'Hiver. “
In a few minutes, period dresses and 3-piece suits plunge us into another time. The buildings follow one another and the little ones quickly get caught up in the game, they imagine themselves in turn as a prince and a princess. As soon as we get home I'll go rummaging through the old cupboards to make them a little something.
In the meantime, they carefully follow the passionate stories of our guides of the day. As for me, I totally rediscovered this city that I love. I had no idea of the attraction that Arcachon had aroused among the French and international aristocracy.
It is for me a 100% successful bet! We spent a wonderful morning with the family, out of time. And we are not ready to forget the nice surprise at the end of the visit. We attended a quadrille, a ballroom dance very popular in the XNUMXth century. The dress waltz was superb!
I recommend without hesitation.
