This village is the heart of the oyster and mussel production south of Chatelaillon. For more than a century, oyster and mussel farmers have been cultivating their seafood with love and know-how.
They invite you to the heart of the village to share with you their traditions and their production. Would you like to learn how to open oysters, to taste them of course, and to witness the burning of an oyster shell? Go to the Boucholeurs village.
Oysters are part of our gut, we pamper them, we love them!
For young and old, the Boucholeurs festival will delight the whole family. Mom will be delighted to stroll through the local farmers’ market and choose beautiful oysters for the evening, local beers for the aperitif, a nice picture of a local artist to decorate the living room.
The children will run to the village of p’tits-bouchos with the program: games in water, chamboul’tout and other old games, pony ride and many other animations just for them.
I made my baptism in an oyster farmer’s barge. I was a bit scared because it moves a lot!
And meanwhile, daddy is making a crazy bet: tug-of-war in the mud… because games in the mud are part of the Boucholeurs’ tradition! Fortunately, he has foreseen the rubber boots. What an atmosphere!
After a break to taste oysters, the long awaited moment is the burning of the éclade. The mussels were patiently put on pine needles and we set them on fire. What a show and what a treat.
My favorite part was the flashover. It’s spectacular and very good!
Celtic, Breton or rock music, we sway while enjoying a beautiful sunset on the Baie des Boucholeurs, a delight.
I won the oyster opener contest this year. I’ll be back next year, bet on it!
