First of all, immerse yourself in the colourful
atmosphere of the market, typical of south-west france

In the covered section, you’ll find fresh produce to fill your fridge with – fruit and veg, seafood and fish, meat, charcuteries and ready-prepared dishes, bread, cakes and pastries – all those products that make you love cooking and will inspire you to start straight away!

There’s a different atmosphere outside, here you’ll find a colourful array of clothes, fashion accessories, toys, Basque table linen, and typical market kitchenware and cutlery. You’ll also find local artists selling their paintings.

With all these tempting offers, you’ll always come away with some bargain or another.

From the market square,
everything is within walking distance!

Beaches, markets, small shops, simply delicious ice creams, restaurants, and long evenings.

It’s just so easy to walk everywhere – to meet with friends in the nearby cafés or in a restaurant, visit the lighthouse, or taste a dozen oysters in the nearby oyster-farming village.

Boulevard de la Plage, lined with clothing and home decor shops, is a must for an afternoon’s shopping, and you’ll want to take time for afternoon tea break or an ice cream.

It’s as if time had come to a standstill.

The beaches are so close by.

Summer holidays at Cap Ferret are also synonymous with immense beaches facing the ocean or the beaches on the bay.

The Horizon beach, where you can roll in the waves or learn to surf, and where the kids just love building sandcastles! The beaches on the bay, where you can relax with a good book.

Cap Ferret has its night-life too. Stop somewhere for an after-dinner drink or go dancing, and the next day set off again for a new adventure on the Peninsula.
