Brittany is famous for its seafood and in particular its oysters. There are many oyster farms in the area around our campsite. Some propose guided visits and tasting, and many offer their products for sale directly from their oyster farm.

Gulf of Morbihan provides an ideal environment for the production of oysters. There are many oyster « tables » in the bays here, because the water currents in the Gulf encourage the production of good quality oysters.
There are two kinds of oysters, both of which can be found in our region. The first type is the flat oyster, or Belon flat, and the second type is the cupped oyster. They can be be bought graded by their size. Oysters can be eaten all year around, although often it is said they are better during the months without an « r » in the month. This is because during the summer months, they are « milkier » because it is the reproduction season.
