The Bassin on the water - in a flatboat or pinnace on the Bassin - Bassin d'Arcachon

If oysters are the pride and the fame of Bassin, the men and women who bring them back to earth deserve as much attention. Embark with Fabrice at Port of Larros at Gujan-Mestras on a typical plate of Bassin to make a living as an oyster farmer. His hands untie and reproduce the gestures of each day before your eyes. The sea air fills your lungs while Fabrice teaches you the right gestures. Intense !
