FAMILY STORY

Our family story beginS on the chenal d’Arceau on the island of Oléron in the 1950’S.
Henry Pattedoie, a son of a fisherman, turns with his wife Dannine to Oyster farmaing.
Our grand-parents often tell us about the difficult work of the time, without any equimenty,everything was done by hand, wearing wooden clogs, furthermore,reaching the chenal by bicycle at any hour of the day or the night and by any weather or temperature conditions as oyter farming gets its rhythm with the ocean’s tide.
