Arcachon Bassin is located 30 miles from Bordeaux; but feels like another world

The Bassin of Arcachon has many things going for it, but to me, its their oysters and oyster farms.

Life's simple pleasures; French style that is, is snacking on 2 dozen ( or more) oysters. Here in this large basin is the home to some of the worlds best grown oysters and the shoreline is dotted with oyster farmer colorful huts and having the opportunity to visit, sit down and taste oysters along with some great flinty white wine. 
One of the great sensations of my life.
