Imagine.

With the roof down, you drive down towards L’Herbe, past the fishermen’s huts, the air heavy with the scent of pine and oysters. You park where others give up. No one looks back at the other cars; everyone’s eyes are on yours.

The Moke weaves its way through the sandy lanes of the oyster-farming villages, crosses the peninsula in a matter of minutes and drops you off at the foot of the dunes. Silently. Without a drop of petrol. Just the wind and the pine trees.

Cap Ferret has never needed to try too hard. Neither has the Moke.

The most photographed car on the peninsula

First launched in 1964, the Moke – an icon of cinema and summer days by the water – is now back as a 100 % electric car. In Cap Ferret, it ticks all the boxes:

• A 4-seater convertible – the whole gang on board
• Silent and emission-free: understated elegance
• M1-approved, Category B licence, all roads on the peninsula
• Six colours: Shell White, Wave Blue, Sunset Orange, Sunlight Yellow, Eucalyptus Green, Palm Green, or a bespoke design
• Free test drive by appointment, purchase & lease, delivery anywhere in France

A trip to the cabin at daybreak, oyster tasting overlooking the Bassin, a session at Le Truc Vert, then back through the forest: the Moke moves to the rhythm of the peninsula all year round. And when it’s time to head home, a two-hour charge on a Type 2 socket is all it takes to set off again the next day.
