THE HOUSE
OUR KNOW-HOW
NATURE, THE FOUNDATION OF OUR OYSTERS
Each of our oysters tells the story of its environment. Nestling between land and sea in the heart of the Gulf, they are the echo of a generous nature. They are the living reflection of the harmonious balance that prevails between these two distinct but intimately linked worlds. They draw on the nutrient-rich waters to develop, acquire their characteristic flavours and become a true embodiment of their marine terroir.
We seek to sublimate this balance to achieve a unique and authentic taste experience. By nurturing them with care and preserving the integrity of their natural habitat, we honour this intimate connection. Our efforts are aimed at ensuring that oysters continue to be a living echo of nature's bounty, symbolising the richness and continuity of the harmony between sea and land that the Gulf provides.

LISTENING TO THE LIVING WORLD
By carefully scrutinising Nature, we work to shape our oysters according to the most exacting oyster farming practices. Our daily routine is punctuated by assiduous exploration of the beds, where every day we probe the natural elements, adapting our methods to seasonal variations and the incessant cycles of the tides. Guided by our intimate knowledge of the sea, we aim for extreme precision in our work. Meticulous observation of the sky is just as crucial as a detailed reading of the oceanographic parameters: we adjust our actions according to the whims of the winds and sea currents, anticipating the hazards of future storms. Our business is based on this subtle harmony with natural forces.
The sea, offering its blessings and demanding its share, confronts us with our own vulnerability. We are subject to its unpredictable twists and turns, seeking to navigate its vagaries. Yet it is precisely in the midst of these challenges, in the midst of hardship, that our most remarkable achievements are born. These oysters, the fruit of our expertise and our close interaction with the marine ecosystem, are not simply the product of a standardised culture. They symbolise our respect for nature and our ability to innovate, learn and create in the face of challenges. Each specimen embodies a story, each harvest a celebration of human tenacity and ingenuity in the face of the immeasurable power of the ocean.
