Visit the Maison de l'Huître

The Bay of Arcachon is synonymous with oyster farming!

In the heart of the oyster capital, on the Port de Larros in Gujan-Mestras, the Maison de l’Huître opens its doors to you. Discover the pearl of the Basin through a 3-part visit: a guided tour of the museum’s different rooms to learn all about the oyster from its birth, a screening of the film “The Life of the Oyster” to find out more about the daily life of oyster farmers, and then free access to the museum’s outdoor tour.

Whether you’re with the family, an association offriends or a group of colleagues, dive into the history and secrets of the Arcachon oyster for a convivial and enriching experience!

Length of visit: 1h

Tasting at the cabin

After visiting the Maison de l’Huître, an oyster tasting is a must!

Visit one of Gujan-Mestras’ 7 oyster ports, in an authentic waterside setting, for an oyster tasting “à la cabane”, in the home of an oyster producer. Do you prefer them smooth, melt-in-your-mouth, slightly iodized or with a hint of hazelnut? Let yourself be tempted!

Boat trip - around Bird Island

To round off this escapade, take a seat aboard a boat and head for the heart of the Bassin for an unforgettable escapade.

You’ll get close to the Ile aux oiseaux and its famous Tchanquées huts. Depending on the tide, you’ll approach the oyster beds. You’ll also sail past the charming oyster-farming villages of the Cap Ferret peninsula, a haven of peace where time seems to stand still. Finally, this cruise will take you to the Arcachon waterfront, with its ancient villas bearing witness to a prestigious past.
