Discovering clam fishing
To fish like an Oléronais, take part in the activity offered by your host lasting one hour and 30 minutes (from 10 years old)!
Departing from La Cabane (bring boots for walking in the mud), depending on the tide times, Vanessa will guide you on foot on the foreshore and teach you how to fish for clams on your finger while enjoying the panorama. You will leave with your catch and Vanessa will give you her recipes to taste it! The price for this expedition is 40 euros for the group.
