The Hérault Shell Tour

The Conchylitour A culinary tour along the waterways

Oysters, mussels, lagoon landscapes and authentic encounters: the Hérault Conchylitour is a culinary and cultural tour that invites you to discover shellfish farming in a different light. The idea is simple: meet the producers themselves—oyster and mussel farmers working in the Hérault—and enjoy a tasting experience at their farmhouses that offers a direct insight into their trade and daily lives.

On foot, by bike, by boat or by car, the Conchylitour can be explored at your own pace, all year round. Each stop is an opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of a craft deeply rooted in the region, and to savour seafood as close as possible to where it is farmed.
