When to go to Cap-Ferret?
Ocean surf on one shore, calm bay water on the other, and a spit of pines holding the two apart. At L'Herbe and Le Canon, low wooden oyster huts line the water in faded colours, selling plates at the door. Climb the lighthouse and the whole basin opens out: oyster beds, sandbanks, dunes and a tide quietly rearranging all of it.
