This article appears in Volume V02, Page 340 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: APO-ARN
ARCACHON , a
coast
  town of
south
 -western France, in the department of
Gironde
 , 37 in. W.S.W. of
Bordeaux
  on the Southern railway. Pop. (1906) 9006. Arcachon is situated on the southern border of the
lagoon
  of Arcachon at the foot of dunes covered with splendid pine-woods. It comprises two distinct parts, the summer town, extending for 22 M. along the shore, and bordered by a firm sandy
beach
 , frequented by bathers, and the winter town, farther inland, consisting of numerous villas scattered amongst the pines.
Owing to the mildness of its climate the winter town is a resort for consumptive patients. The
principal
 
industries
  are
oyster
 -breeding, which is conducted on a very large scale, and fishing. The port has
trade
  with Spain and England.
