La Maison de l'Huitre

Oysters, we all know them! They find their place every year on our holiday tables. But before being served on a bed of ice, three long years passed. On the Port of Larros in Gujan-Mestras, the Maison de l'Huître invites you to discover this exceptional product, the Pearl of the Basin...

A one-hour visit in three stages: screening of the film "The Life of the Oyster" (we discover the daily life of our oyster farmers), guided tour in the different scenographic spaces (reproduction, farming techniques, species, etc...), without forgetting the free discovery of the outdoor course with traditional boats, the oyster farming equipment of yesteryear, the whitewashed tiles, all harmoniously staged in the heart of the vegetation specific to the Arcachon Basin.

You will never taste oysters the same way again!

The little extra: a discovery booklet for children !
Visiting becomes a game with EDULIS!
Discovering a museum while having fun... nothing could be easier with the Oyster's P'tit Passport! investigation, games, riddles, quizzes...
