Le fruits de la mare

Little town up the road Cancale. Tourist haven on weekend in fine weather. But in the rain only the locals.
Oysters. From the farm 4 Euro per dozen.
A dozen now, sitting on the steps of the bay. 2 dozen packed up for later on back at the Manoir with the local cheese and cider.



The oyster stand at Cancale.

Yummy. 12 is not really enough.

24 more at home.

The oyster fields of Cancale. At low tide the tractors drive out to work them. At high tide they are under metres of water. If you click and enlarge the picture you'll see the tractors.

    1. Yep. Very yummy. Very fresh. Very big. Bretagne or Normande? From our place head to le abbey of Mont St Michel. If you turn left at le Abbey you are in Bretagne. If you turn right you are in Normande.
      Left or right, the cider and cheese is delicious.
