We've been saying it for a long time, but Cap Ferret, an Atlantic Coast peninsula due west of Bordeaux, is something of an undiscovered gem. Not only is it a beautiful, natural landscape, tight planning regulations ensure there is very little new-build and what there is has to be nothing short of very smart indeed.

The Times' Cap Ferret article reveals how two fishing huts on the Cap have just been sold for €1.12 million euros (about £764,000). The huts, whilst directly accessing the beach, are one-room only!

The good news is that you don't have to be a millionaire to enjoy staying on the Cap - and there's certainly none of the Côte d'Azur's pretension.

That said, with it's fine selection of boutiques, brocantes, cafés and restaurants, Cap Ferret is unquestionably a destination for the discerning. And there's much to enjoy here, such as sailing, surfing or just watching the fishermen haul in their oysters.

And with it's wild ocean beaches on the west-side, calm Bassin d'Arcachon waters on the east-side, separated by scented pine forests in between, the natural landscape is sure to win you over too.

We have a range of holiday villas and cottages on the Cap, some of which still have availability this summer. There isn't a huge supply of holiday lets here so you'd be wise to think ahead now for summer 2008. Here's a sample of what we can offer:
