    • The "Huître du Saunier" cabin has been open since May 1, 2017. A production and tasting place located in an atypical place, in the heart of the salt marshes. You can get there by the cycle path that connects the town of La Couarde to that of Loix, passing by the Tour des Prises to reach the small port of Laid and its famous tide mill. You can go there by car and park in a car park located less than 200 meters away.

      In a place in real and direct contact with nature, Jean and Thierry invite you to come and savor shellfish and crustaceans: oysters from the producer, clams, shrimps, whelks fricassee à la plancha and other local products such as samphire velouté or “la Rhétaise” fish soup.

      House motto: “we want to have fun and share it.”

    A delightful time spent in this typical cabin. Eric is welcoming and engaging! A special mention for the exceptional oysters from the Pertuis. Stop for a refreshing break!

    A real hidden gem in the middle of the salt marshes. The oysters and whelks were out of this world! (Says someone who often buys these at the supermarket, we’re reaching another level here!)

    Great spot to cycle to for lunch in the sun amongst the oyster beds. We shared a mixed platter of seafood and a bottle of rose and all was right in the world.

    The seaweed tartare arrives in a can on the table The oysters are warm, what a shame! The mayonnaise is very bland And the bill is steep JP

    The only positive point: the site.... And there is even better. Slow and disorganized service: soup served after the oysters... canned fish soup. Salad with the unicorn... burst of laughter: bagged...
