Descriptif

The Cayenne channel, one of the best spots to admire oyster huts!

All along the chenal de la Cayenne, which runs from the Marennes marina to the old pier on the Seudre, numerous oyster-farming establishments have sprung up on the left bank. They offer quality seafood platters and retail oysters and shellfish to eat in or take away...

On the other side of the channel, you can admire many colorful huts and oyster beds built on former salt marshes.
