I had a wonderful time with Thierry and the other people on the boat, a really great group of friends. We learned about the bay, discussed various topics, and enjoyed oysters and white wine together... a truly convivial moment... probably the best memory of my vacation. Thank you!

Fantastic! Mr. Thierry is very friendly. My husband is completely paraplegic, and he went out of his way to ensure we had the best possible access to the oyster boat, which had been converted for boat trips. A real sense of solidarity arose among the passengers, with everyone helping to carry my husband and his manual wheelchair! The trip was wonderful, with a short stop in the charming village of Canon! It was our first outing, and we made a great choice with this tour operator for such an authentic experience! We'll definitely be back!
