Idyllic summers in Cap Ferret's most beautiful homes

As soon as we arrive on this piece of land surrounded by salt water, we feel at home. Between family houses and surf-aperitif rituals, summers at this well kept French secret get sweeter every time.

Sunny, colourful mornings are spent with a coffee before we head out to pedal through the pine forest until we reach the dunes of the beach of Truc Vert: one of the most beautiful beaches in the region and perfect for surfing. For the rest of the day we take long walks in the middle of the dunes, sun-bathe after surfing in the afternoons and meals with our feet in the water.

In this place where the majesty of pines, the force of the tides and charm of small fishing villages mingle, the homes in Cap Ferret echo their environment. Because of this, days spent at home are basically days spent in nature as the indoors and outdoors blend seamlessly with the beauty of their surroundings.
