The Arcachon Bay, from stilt huts to pinasses
The Arcachon Bay already has its place in the seaside guide, among 8 coastal landscapes from all over France. The Arcachon posters collection goes further, with subjects unique to the Bassin: stilt huts, sailboats, pinasses, oysters and the Arcachon beach.
The cabanes tchanquées, symbol of the Bassin
Perched on their stilts in the middle of the water, the cabanes tchanquées of Bird Island are the most recognizable image of the Arcachon Bay, far from the classic beaches of the Atlantic coast. A useful poster for anchoring a wall in the Southwest with a less expected scene.
The Bassin, sailboats and pinasses
Sailboats on the Bassin at sunset, the colorful pinasses in the harbor, oysters and white wine served in front of the oyster huts: these compositions play on flat areas of blue, and orange as the sun goes down, for a mood that feels more maritime than beachy.
The Aquitaine beach and its striped parasols
Red and white striped parasols lined up on the sand, pines and seafront villas create a more summery mood, closer to the classic codes of the beach poster, to pair with a cabane tchanquée or a Bassin scene to vary the tones on a single wall.
Designing an Arcachon and Southwest wall
For a hallway or a bedroom, a cabane tchanquée paired with a Bassin scene (sailboats or pinasses) tells the story of the Arcachon Bay without repeating the same mood twice; the Arcachon beach and its striped parasols round out the set nicely for anyone who wants all 3 facets of the region.
The Thiers pier, another face of the Bassin
A separate poster features the Thiers pier, facing the ocean in the bright orange tones of a sunset: a different view from the stilt huts or sailboats already presented, for anyone who wants to add a 3rd perspective on the Arcachon Bay.

Frequently asked questions
You often ask us
Does this article overlap with the seaside guide?
Not really. The seaside guide features the Dune du Pilat as one of 8 coastal scenes from across France. This article covers the other posters in the Arcachon collection, focused on the cabanes tchanquées (stilt-house fishing huts), the Bassin and the beaches of the Aquitaine coast.
What style are the Arcachon posters?
Art Deco-inspired illustration with sunset tones (blue, orange) for the Bassin and sailboat scenes, and a softer, postcard-like look for the beach and striped parasols.
