Island Oleron small oysters harbours
Small oyster harbours along the "Route des huitres"The real land of oysters
It is in the Marennes Oleron area, between the island and the mainland, that oysters, bred by oyster farmers, are the best. Thanks to the traditions of maturing in the "Claires" (old salt marshes) they develop this little nutty taste that makes their reputation. Along the "route des huitres", many small harbours follow one another around the La Brande campsite. Smart: take part in the bike ride accompanied by Alain (english spoken) to Xavier's oyster farm.Chassiron lighthouse
