The small but bustling town of Cap-Ferret hosts a brilliant market serving up fresh produce, crafts and a whole host of other unusual items.
It attracts an eclectic set of stallholders so plenty to root through in search of a bargain or an original souvenir. The market is held every day during the summer months but, outside of the main holiday period, it’s on Saturday's & Wednesday's in the mixed indoor and outdoor venue.
A rich tapestry of colour, smells, espadrilles (the essential beach wear!) and fresh local fish and oysters. Not to be rushed, it is worth building your day around this market.
Watch out for
The tapas bars that serve a delicious chilled rose wine from the early market hours of the morning!
