3. The Church of Saint-Vincent d'Arès

The ideal season to rent Holiday rentals in Arès

In Arès, each season changes the way you experience the town and the Basin shore, allowing you to tailor your holiday to your desires, your budget and the type of stay you're looking for. Depending on the period, the same rental can offer a different view, a different atmosphere and sometimes a better price per night, with traveller reviews varying according to how busy it is.

In spring, Arès finds its softness again and nature takes back its colours around the paths and preserved spaces. It's an excellent time to book a rental and enjoy a peaceful flat, while remaining close to the centre for markets and outings on foot. The days are pleasant, the walks by the water are without crowds, and the accommodation suits 2 people as well as a small group, with rates often more flexible.

In summer, Arès comes alive and attracts more travellers looking for a holiday in the sun. Between outdoor activities, events and parties, choosing Holiday Rentals allows you to keep things really comfortable: you enjoy the town and the shore, then return to your flat to rest after a busy day. To optimise the price per night and secure the best type of accommodation, it's advisable to book early, especially if you want a great view or an address close to the centre.

In autumn, the atmosphere becomes quieter again and the colours make walks particularly pleasant. Arès is discovered at a gentler pace, ideal for a gourmet getaway and for exploring the town without constraints, with rentals often more available and cheaper prices. It's also the perfect season to read reviews, compare accommodation and choose a comfortable flat, suitable for the number of people, to enjoy each night in a calmer atmosphere.

In winter, Arès takes on a more intimate charm, perfect for a cocooning interlude. After a walk by the water or an outing in the town, you'll appreciate coming home to a warm, well-equipped rental where you can spend a restful night. Travellers who prefer peace and quiet will find it easier to rent at a good price, while still having easy access to the centre and good places to warm up.

The 3 must-try activities during your holiday in Arès

A holiday rental in Arès isn't just about renting a flat for the night at the best price: it's also an opportunity to make the most of the town, the centre and the banks of the Bassin. To vary the pleasures, here are three ideas for activities to enjoy on site, much appreciated by travellers according to reviews, whatever your type of accommodation, the view and the number of people.

1. Hike the trails of the Prés Salés nature reserve in Arès and Lège-Cap-Ferret

For a breath of fresh air during your holiday, set off to explore the Prés Salés Nature Reserve: a must-do in Arès to walk in peace, observe the landscapes along the shore and enjoy superb views. It's an ideal outing if you've chosen a rental close to the centre, or if you want to get away for a few hours before returning to your flat for a restful night.

2. Take a stroll and sample some oysters at the Port Ostréicole d'Arès

A stone's throw from many rental properties, the Port Ostréicole d'Arès offers a typical stroll between huts, boats and local atmosphere. It's the perfect activity for discovering the Bassin's art of living, taking a gourmet break, and enjoying a beautiful view of the water's edge. As a couple, a family or with friends (depending on your pers), this outing perfectly complements your programme without adding to the overall cost of your holiday.

3. Fill up on flavours at the Arès Market

To feel the energy of the town, head for the Arès market: a simple, authentic stop-off to sample local produce, chat with producers and put together a meal to share in your accommodation. It's also a great way to keep the cost of your stay under control, especially if you've opted for a rented flat and enjoy cooking after a day out in the centre.
