A family-run oyster shack open all year round

Located in the commune of Yves, between Châtelaillon-Plage and Fouras, the Huîtres Saveurs Nacrées oyster shack is an oyster farm run by the Marié family, oyster farmers for several generations. Open year-round, it offers takeaway seafood according to the season, as well as a range of carefully selected regional products.

A tasting with a view of Yves Bay

The cabin is ideally located by the sea, with an unobstructed view of Yves Bay, Île d'Aix, and the Fouras coastline. Visitors can enjoy a seafood tasting in a peaceful setting overlooking the ocean. Access is directly from the coastal promenade between Châtelaillon-Plage and Yves, a popular spot for walkers, cyclists, and rollerbladers. This prime location makes it a favorite for a delicious break in the fresh air.

Local produce and seafood specialties

In addition to freshly harvested oysters, the Huîtres Saveurs Nacrées oyster shack offers a selection of local products : fish soups, artisanal rillettes, sardines, Pineau des Charentes... All products are sourced from local or regional producers. Temporary exhibitions by local artists are regularly held on site, strengthening the connection between local culture and maritime gastronomy.

An oyster vending machine for self-service at any time

An oyster vending machine is located right next to the oyster shack, allowing customers to purchase fresh oysters outside of regular opening hours. This system offers greater flexibility while maintaining the quality of the family-produced oysters. The oyster shack's opening hours are updated weekly on the website's homepage. Please note: the establishment is closed on Thursday evenings only.
