The Bassin Arcachon in Gironde is the birthplace of several varieties of oysters with its numerous oyster farms that make its worldwide reputation.
Oyster farming appeared in the 19th century, the breeding of oysters, resulted in changes in the working methods and varieties of oysters used. For although the flat oyster predominated in the Bassin until the 19th century, today it has almost completely disappeared and was replaced by the Portuguese oyster then by the Japanese oyster.
The oyster farmers of Arcachon-Cap Ferret invite you to taste their oysters in cabins on the edge of the Bassin, where they work.
You will also find shrimp, bulot, clams, periwinkles among friends or family accompanied by magnificent wines.
