Welcome

A villa of 1903 on the beach at Taussat

Villa La Tosca is a 1903 beachfront villa in Taussat on the Arcachon Bay, taken on exclusive use for weddings with the garden for vows and up to 120 guests outside for the evening.

Villa La Tosca was built in 1903 in the Italian-influenced style of the Atlantic coast, for Germain Cumenge, Prosecutor of the Republic in Bordeaux. The villa was later restored under the supervision of the Architecte des Bâtiments de France, and its garden gate opens directly onto the beach of the Arcachon Bay. Eight bedrooms are decorated with antique furniture and pieces collected on the owners' travels.
