Change of ownership in 2023 Chez Melon tout est bon! This little shack on the picturesque Port du Bec offers shellfish such as oysters, clams, mussels and crustaceans to take away or enjoy on the spot. The flat and hollow oysters come from their park. Their open sea oysters won a silver medal at the last Salon de l'Agriculture. You may decide to take your shellfish home to eat, but stay here to savor the iodized products in a friendly atmosphere in the tasting room with its terrace.

Alice and Vincent David have been oyster farmers for about ten years. They obtained two medals, gold for their special oysters of clear, and silver for the open sea in the General Agricultural Competition in 2020. You will find their oysters and shellfish on order at their shack, but also on the markets of Beaulieu-sous-la-Roche and Mouilleron-le-Captif. From July to October they offer mussels from Pénestin. In summer, from 8 people, book your fishing boat trip (1h30) to discover the bay and taste its oyster production.

Nicola Karpoff welcomes you to her marine farm which includes 3 activities: breeding of the imperial shrimp (gambas), artisanal harvesting of salt, and salicornia, which is eaten as a vegetable or condiment, the "growth" of oysters in claires. Oysters with a unique particular taste, due to the clay basins. Did you know that prawns are produced in France, in the marshes of the Atlantic? The first prawns are marketed from mid-August to mid-November, and production is limited, so hurry if you want to taste these extra quality products.

Christophe will welcome you to his salt marsh, which is easy to spot as it is located opposite a large calvary at the exit of Beauvoir-sur-Mer. He will tell you, not without a sense of humour, all the fascinating secrets of his trade: the history of salt, how it is harvested, how a salt marsh works... The visit is free and interesting. After the visit you can leave with salt or fleur de sel from his production, which will also make good holiday gifts to bring back to your family.
