I'm thinking of spending a few days around Arcachon this July--two different French friends have recommended it. I understand it can be expensive, though, and my first online check for accommodation bears that out. But I also hear there are some smaller villages not too far away that may be cheaper. Any advice?
Thanks!

I stayed at the Hotel les Pins in Cap Ferret in April a few years back and loved it.

Thanks, it looks nice! In case I wanted to really scale back, has anyone had experience with the campsites around there? I remember when I was in Mykonos, someone told me you didn't even need your own tent--it was sort of communal and laid back. Do you know if there's a setup like that in the Arcachon area?
