Dense, salty water — you float without effort.
Cap Ferret is a narrow pine-forested peninsula at the entrance of the Arcachon Basin in the Gironde department, where iodine-rich Atlantic waters from the Bay of Biscay converge with the tidal currents of one of France's largest coastal lagoons. The thalassotherapy center harnesses the exceptional mineral richness of Atlantic seawater from this unique double-fronted location — sheltered basin waters on one side and open Atlantic breakers on the other. The celebrated Cap Ferret trilogy of fresh oysters from the basin, a thalasso session, and watching the sunset from atop the Dune du Pilat — the tallest sand dune in Europe at 110 metres — represents the definitive Gironde coastal wellness day.
