Papa and I were up early on Monday morning and took the train to Arcachon from Bordeaux. The ride was about 50 minutes, and we exited the Gare into the city. We walked to the beach and along the boardwalk, had a good lunch at Alma Mia Cucina, then took a local bus to Dune du Pilat, the largest sand dune in Europe. By 4 in the afternoon, we took the bus back to the Gare, then got on the train back to Bordeaux. We had time for bowls of onion and fish soup at Cafe du Levant before we caught our train to Agen, and drove home. Along the way, we ran into people we knew - a friend of a friend in Arcachon, and two friends from Lectoure in the Gare in Agen. A good day!
