As autumn settles over the peninsula, Cap Ferret takes on a different character. The beaches become more peaceful, the villages return to a quieter pace and the softer light transforms the landscape. During the All Saints’ break, the destination is best enjoyed through walks by the ocean, moments by the water and the pleasures of the table.

From Villa Colette, this autumn escape unfolds according to your mood. Enjoy the first hours of the day, head towards the ocean for a walk, cycle through the pine forest or simply linger and take in the landscape.

Away from the bustle of summer, Cap Ferret returns to a more intimate rhythm. The sea air, seasonal colours and bright autumn days offer a different perspective on the peninsula.

An ideal escape to reconnect with the essentials and savour the final days of October.

Rediscover Cap Ferret Away from the Summer Crowds

During the All Saints’ break, Cap Ferret reveals a more intimate atmosphere. The streets are quieter, the beaches almost deserted and the landscapes seem to reclaim centre stage.

From Villa Colette, there is no need for a set itinerary. A stroll through the village, a walk along the water or an escape to the ocean is enough to set the pace for the day.

At this time of year, the softer light brings out the contours of the peninsula and accompanies long walks into the final hours of the afternoon.

Back at Villa Colette, the warmth and comfort of the house provide a welcome retreat after a day outdoors.

Make the most of the All Saints’ break to discover Villa Colette and another side of Cap Ferret.

Explore Cap Ferret Between the Ocean, Pine Forest and Villages

Autumn brings a different dimension to the landscapes of Cap Ferret. The air turns crisper, the paths become quieter and the peninsula takes on a particularly gentle atmosphere.

On the ocean side, vast beaches stretch as far as the eye can see. Walk alongside the waves with a jacket over your shoulders, surrounded by nothing but sand, the Atlantic and the open sky.

Further inland, paths wind through the century-old pine forest. On foot or by bike, the scent of pine mingles with the sea air as sunlight filters through the trees.

The journey can then continue towards the villages of L’Herbe, Le Canon, Piraillan and Cap Ferret. In autumn, their narrow lanes become more peaceful, the traditional oyster cabins return to their natural setting and the scenery can be enjoyed away from the bustle of the summer months.

Pause for a moment by the water, watch the boats drift by, then continue your journey with no particular destination in mind.

A simple and authentic way to explore the peninsula during the All Saints’ break, between ocean, pine forest and villages.

At Villa Colette, lunch and dinner become moments in their own right. Surrounded by the landscape, guests gather around generous, seasonal cuisine imagined by Chef Benjamin Six.

As evening falls, the atmosphere becomes warmer still. After the crisp ocean air, lingering over dinner is the perfect way to extend the day.
