About Marennes-Oléron Basin Producers

In the middle of the 19th century, when the salt producing marshes became obsolete and were reclaimed, the modern history of the Marennes Oléron oyster truly begins. The Charente and Seude Rivers empty their fresh waters out over the ancient salt beds creating unique conditions for oyster finishing.
