Not to be confused with the far more chi-chi Cap Ferrat, on the Med, Cap Ferret is located at the tip of a peninsula which creates the Bassin D'Arcachon, a bay between the French eastern coast and the Atlantic Ocean. It is under a two hour drive from Bordeaux. From the Cap........next stop North America. This locale is the Nirvana of French oyster aquaculture and tastings and oyster degustations can be experienced everywhere. Today has been the first brilliantly sunny day that we have had so far, creating the perfect "beach day". Many French must have agreed. Getting into the better restaurants was impossible and the beaches and walkways were crowded but, everyone was friendly and just enjoying the day.
The pics are:
1- I have never seen a surf fisherman catch a fish.......today being no exception
2- Across the bay are the largest sand dunes in France
3- A beautiful peninsula with a real "vacation vibe"
4- The local oysters are magnificent and there several different types to try
5- Hey ........where did all the water go?
6- Vive la France.......where everyone can go topless!
7- The highways out to the Cap were alive with Heather in full bloom
8- The blog gods decided that two pics are better than one???????
