This waterside museum in France’s Arcachon region looks at the history of oysters and farming techniques. A visit to The Oyster House begins with a short film, followed by a guided tour of rooms showing artefacts and farming tools, anecdotes and recipes. Films are shown in English, Spanish, and German when crowds permit. The site is accessible to people with reduced mobility. The museum can also arrange guided walking tours of the port.
