BEST SHOPPING
- Le Marché du Cap Ferret – Local market: Un stop au marché s'impose si vous voulez saisir la véritable âme de la presqu’île. Vous pourrez y croiser des célébrités en espadrilles, panier en osier à la main. Poissons frais, pièces de boucher et délicieux fromages se trouvent à l’intérieur. Dehors, robes, paniers, bijoux... En général, on prend quelques fruits et légumes chez Cocotte avant d'acheter des fleurs au Fleurisier, puis, comme le veut la tradition, on prend un verre accompagné de tapas au Bistrot de Peyo.
