waouh a lot of question
i guess the best ways to go to arcachon are to take the train (sncf.com) or rent a car
between paris and bordeaux : 3hours by train
what you can see in bordeaux , the city is nice and need some days, but you cannot miss st emilion, you could go to cognac, you have to visit a castlle and try wine
arcachon, i still don t know when you will come, the beaches, the city is small but pretty, you have to clim the Dune du Pyla (the highest in europe) (you need courage), to have a cruise and go to the birds islands or see the cabane tchanquee (houses in the movie 37.8), there is a zoo not so far

even i hope that you ll join me for a coffee, and i could better help you to visit the area

(dordogne is not so far, and you could have some nice spots)
