It, too, was a former fishermen’s village, and many of the houses had remained untouched from their original construction, while others have additions and fresh coats of paint. The primary catch now is oysters. The town has many cafes that serve only oysters. Nick enjoys oysters \u00a0very much. He insisted that I have tasted them previously, but I have no memory of eating them.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>The town’s \u00a0chapel<\/a> has three names: Sainte Marie du Cap, Chapelle de l’Herbe, and Chapelle de la Villa Alg\u00e9rienne. The chapel was constructed by a world traveler who had it built with both Moorish and local elements. It is striped! We \u00a0were intrigued by a replica of a ship hanging from the ceiling. A photographer was taking pictures of a bride and groom outside.\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a>Back in Cap Ferret, we walked to a farmer’s market, where fall clothing was featured, along with a variety of foods. \u00a0Then it was time for the main meal of the day. Jos\u00e9-Maria walked to a nearby shop \u00a0and returned with freshly harvested oysters. There were enough to fill a huge \u00a0serving plate to capacity, and he, Agn\u00e8s and Nick feasted on them. Jos\u00e9-Maria was concerned that I might \u00a0have an oyster allergy, so I ate melon with jambon instead, one of my favorites. They were our appetizers. Agn\u00e8s had prepared a bean stew, which was followed by fruit, and then three cheeses, two of which were local. Our dessert was individual cakes. We so appreciated the work she put into preparing this meal.<\/p>\n
