Etablissements Billeau - Marennes

To visit La Cayenne in a warm afternoon, we needed a cool drink while we watch others eat their Moule Frites, we decided to share 6 oysters that were deliciously fresh. Beautiful view from the outdoor terrace, but if a bit breezy.

The real place does not let you put from others over the look, it is exactly what it should be with about a dozen tables under awnings to offer some protection form of the sun, plus several more tables in the open. Very good... Quality oysters and palates at an extremely favorable price, but above all, prepared and served with such enthusiasm and efficiency by the staff. The best meal of my recent visit to the Marennes region.

Do not come here if you want a beautiful environment and a wide selection of menus. If you want great views and even better oysters and shells, that's your place. The food is served by the people who produce the oysters, and there is no hair... child if place. The service is courteous and friendly and the prices are good. Set menus are very valuable and the oysters could not taste fresher. I would suggest booking in the summer months.

Imagine being next to the shore, a fabulous view on the Pont de la Seudre and beyond with the ile d'Oleron, enjoying superb quality oysters and amazing mussels cooked with pineau. Finger licking delicious, and a very good price.

Nice little shack with seating by the waters edge. 6 oysters and a little pichet of Muscadet for €11 at lunch what more could you ask for.
