Arcachon Bay
L'Herbe, Cap Ferret's oyster village. A large wooden cabane twenty metres from the water.
Oyster huts, the dune in the distance, and the bay twenty paces away.
In L'Herbe, sandy lanes lead down to the oyster farmers' huts. Lunch is oysters facing the Dune du Pilat, with a swim on the bay side in the morning and on the ocean side in the afternoon.
La Cabane du Cap Ferret sleeps up to fifteen: four double bedrooms with bathrooms and two dormitories for the children. At the end of April a second house, Agegata Le Canon, will open in Le Canon, also for fifteen guests.
