Alan Rogers Review
La Cigale is a modest little site set amid a variety of trees that give some dappled shade. 44 hedged touring pitches (100 sq.m. all with 6A electricity, 26 also with water and a drain). There is a small, unheated swimming pool and a paddling pool. The bar has a terrace where drinks and snacks are served under the shade of large plane trees. Nine chalets are available for rent.
This is an exceptional area for cycling, with designated routes. Across the bay lie bustling Arcachon and the enormous Dune de Pilat, easily reached by ferry from Cap Ferret.
