A museum with a store, where you can buy pearly jewelry in Ile-d'Aix.
Listed as a remarkable natural site, the Ile d'Aix is an ideal place for a stroll. As you stroll around, you'll have plenty of time to visit this museum, created over 70 years ago by Yvonne and Léon Gallet. For almost 40 years, this family-run business has been the lifeblood of the region, and today continues to perpetuate this ancestral activity, which is only practiced on the island. Learn more about a rare craft, the life of marine molluscs and the construction of their shells. You can also buy pearly jewelry in the store.

Magasin bien achalandé en bijoux de nacre, et quelques autres objets. Les prix sont un peu élevés
