If there's one thing that unites us, it's the pleasure of tasting local specialties! Aside from the famous galettes and crêpes, Brittany is a seafood paradise and boasts numerous mussel and oyster farms.

We decided to opt for an aperitif visit with the Panier iodé . Departing from the Jospinet slipway, we boarded a giant beet farm brought in for a group of 40 people.

Before boarding, Vaika took full advantage of the beach, which was allowed for dogs (for once) and had a great time with a local dog. She sprinted so much that she was very hot and rolled around in the wet sand...we had never seen her so dirty. So she went for the walk covered in mud. Fortunately, greyhound fur is easy to clean: once dry, the sand came off easily. Vaika, however, was allowed a good shower in the evening when she got home.

This visit was one of the highlights of our stay and we highly recommend the iodized basket . The guide was very kind and welcoming with Vaika who was welcomed like a queen on board. She gave us very clear and interesting explanations on the difficult job of mussel farmer but also on the reproduction cycle of mussels and the tides. We were even able to go down to see the famous bouchots more closely and observe the different stages of maturity of the mussels. Tip: take boots or walk barefoot on the sand!

The icing on the cake was that we enjoyed a very generous and truly high-quality aperitif: excellent smoked salmon, shrimp, oysters, etc. There was even too much of it! Vaika was allowed her own box of chicken, rice, and green beans during the aperitif so she wouldn't be jealous. The aperitif was accompanied by white wine or fruit juice. A very nice experience, friendly and entertaining.
