Bordeaux – for indulgence and spiritual well-being
Bordeaux, the world’s wine capital, provides a lovely backdrop for gastronomic city breaks with its magnificent buildings, grand avenues, numerous cafés and fine restaurants. From Bordeaux a beautiful coastline stretches along the Atlantic as far as the Spanish border. White sandy beaches and extensive pine forests border the coast, past the great Dune of Pilat, a massive ridge in the Arcachon Bay, made of pure sand which you can walk on.
This is also a good starting point for those looking for health and relaxation:
Arcachon has thalassotherapy – which uses the entire marine environment– an established concept but which was defined in 1867 by Doctor de La Bonnardière, a doctor from Arcachon. Thalassotherapy stimulates the metabolism, strengthens the body’s defence system and boosts the circulation. Thalassotherapy and treatments can be booked in many of the hotels and beauty salons.
From May 2014 Helvetic Airways will be flying from Zurich to Bordeaux every Thursday and Sunday. We hope you enjoy discovering it.
