Our firm – Philippe Picaud Oysterfarming – holds a large number of oyster parks in the Mès basin between the point of Pen Bé and the catchment area of Kervarin, in southern Britanny.
This geographical situation provides an exceptional authentic taste to the oysters. A very specific taste due to the exchange of soft water, rich in phytoplankton, and open sea water.

The marshes of Mès belong to the salt marshes of the Guérande peninsula. They are situated in the south of the ‘Vilaine’ river mouth, on the territories of the municipalities of Assérac, Mesquer and Saint-Molf.
These marshes are situated on the oriental part of Pen-Bé, at a widening of the coast, that opens on the west side to the Atlantic Ocean between the Point of Merquel and Pen-Bé.
Between this area and the salt gardens is situated an zone that according to the tides, is either free of water or covered by the sea (between Pen Bé and Rostu in the south). In the middle, a small canal named ‘La Barre’ connects the ocean and the salt gardens.
This little canal is the mouth of a brook, 20 km long, the Mès, that takes its source in Guérande and gives its name to the area.
This is how we stand – easy and clear
