Thanks to the quality of its coast, Carnac is one of the very first sites dedicated to shellfish farming since 1880. Today, more than 2500ha of parks are run by 30 producers of flat and hollow oysters.

Every one of us has seen someday some oyster shells during a walk along the coast, and admired their shape, their colour or their reflection in the sun. Some might have wished to learn more about the animal inside and how to cook it.
During the visit you will get to know oysters as well as the oyster farming in general. "How old are the oysters we eat?" "Why are flat oysters more expensive than hollow ones?"
You want to know how to open oysters like a chef? You will get the answers to these questions and many more all along your visit.

Shell fishes are a treasure from the sea. They all taste differently according to their geographical setting, their morphology, their colour, the stage of their maturity.
