Anse du Pô, Bay in Carnac, France
This inlet features numerous oyster beds extending along the shoreline, where local producers cultivate shellfish in the nutrient-rich waters of Quiberon Bay.
The oyster farming tradition in Anse du Pô dates back to 1880, establishing the area as a significant center for shellfish production in France.
Local oyster farmers maintain traditional cultivation methods passed down through generations, producing shellfish with distinctive characteristics specific to this coastal region.
Visitors can experience oyster tasting sessions during July and August through programs organized by the Tourist Office in partnership with local producers.
The bay serves as a winter refuge for 3,000 brent geese and provides nesting grounds for shelducks among the extensive oyster parks.
