Recordist's notes

Arcachon’s Winter Town stretches over 10 hectares and witnessed the construction of one of the most novel and eccentric sets of villas in the 19th and early 20th century. This quarter in uptown Arcachon is a paradise in terms of architecture and eccentricity. Each villa tells the story of the birth of the town of Arcachon, which, thanks to the Pereire brothers, became a very popular holiday resort during the Belle Epoque.
