Auberge Paysanne de la Mer

Top choice in Île de Ré


Grab a straw hat to keep off the sun, snag a table overlooking oyster beds and indulge in a plate of freshly shucked oysters, an entire crab, shrimps, langoustines or clams, washed down with a glass of chilled white at this oyster farmer's seaside cabane (hut), home to oyster farmers Sophie and Jacky Sury.

Find it on the fringe of St-Martin-de-Ré, by the sea at the beginning of the cycling path to Ars-en-Ré.
