Marennes, oyster city

30 minutes from the hotel, the oyster city on La Cayenne port in Marennes offers a fun and educational tour about oysters and oyster-farming, in the heart of the oyster bed ecosystem of Marennes.

During your tour, discover the secrets of oyster farmers, the history of oyster-farming, and the evolution of the trade. Enjoy fun activities (dramatised tours, multimedia shows, workshops, games) and a tasting of oyster with very special flavours.

Visit the Cabane des Claires, an oyster-farming exploration site where you can take a cooking class.

Borrow a bike and ride along the discovery trail which crosses the marshes, the mature oyster beds, the oyster farmer cabins and the irrigation canals.
