Cap Ferret on France's Atlantic coast, across the bay from Arcachon, is where Hôtel de la Plage captures the childhood seaside holiday memory exactly right: sunny days, toes in the water, ice cream in the afternoon, and the breezy simplicity that the Bordeaux crowd has been escaping to for generations. The oysters are the best in France. Very simple, very right.

They're famous for them, so you might as well - there are plenty of spots by the beach. Pair with bread, butter and lemon for lunch, but be sure to arrive early. Finish with a La Dune Blanche (it's their speciality, consisting of a choux pastry with light cream inside) at Chez Pascal Bakery.
