In Cancale, our maritime heritage can be discovered in both our landscapes and our know-how. From the hotel, this immersion takes in the oysters of Cancale, the oyster beds visible in the bay, encounters with the oyster-farming world and the sea outings that naturally extend the visit.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

At low tide, the oyster beds in the bay are a landmark feature of Cancale. They are easily seen from the shore, with the bay of Mont-Saint-Michel as a backdrop. When you see them, you immediately realise how much oyster farming depends on the rhythm of the tides and the foreshore.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

If you want to go further, the Ferme Marine in Cancale is a great place to discover the history of oysters, oyster farming techniques and the world of professionals in the sector. It's a useful visit for travellers who want to put gestures, methods and precise words to what they see afterwards in the bay.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Oyster farming is part of the identity of the Cancalais region, and it's also part of the dining experience. After discovering the oyster beds or an oyster-farming site, a tasting session is a great way to connect the landscape, the land and the product. In the port of La Houle, the oyster market is a very popular stop-off point for tasting Cancale oysters as close as possible to where they are farmed.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

The bisquine La Cancalaise brings back to life an old rig typical of the Bay of Mont-Saint-Michel, a replica of La Perle, a Cancalaise bisquine built in 1905. Half-day and full-day outings are available, with some cruises along the coast and others heading for Saint-Malo, the bay or Chausey.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

An excursion to Chausey offers a different view of the coastline. Commercial crossings can be made from Granville, and take around an hour at sea. It's a great idea for travellers attracted by the islands, the maritime horizons and the changing landscapes of the Channel.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
