Bonjour! This week’s carte postale comes from Arcachon, a seaside resort in the Gironde department in the Nouvelle-Aquitaine region in southwestern France.

Top: Arcachon beaches

Bottom left: The Thiers Jetty (La Jetée Thiers). Built in 1903, it’s the center of Arcachon’s nautical festivals.

Bottom right: The old Moorish Casino (Le Casino Mauresque). Built in 1863 in Parc Mauresque, the upper part was entirely inspired by the Mosque of Córdoba in Spain. In 1977, the Casino Mauresque was destroyed by fire. It was transformed into an arboretum in 1992.
