The Superb Oysters of Marennes

We are at Maryvonne L. and Alain's in Vaux-sur-Mer near Royan on the Atlantic coast. This is only minutes away from the oyster beds of Marennes-Oleron, which produce the best oysters in Europe. For lunch we went to Marennes and ate oysters just out of the water. They were a gustatory delight. Maryvonne had taken me there before. *****PS on June 15: I stand corrected. Marennes produces the best oysters in the world.
