There are all the usual things you would expect at this large Wednesday market and then there is a treat. A stall holder from Arcachon sets up their oyster stall selling several different varieties and sizes. They are set up between a café and a brasserie and tradition has it that you go to the oyster stall late morning and order your dozen oysters find a seat in either eatery and order a glass of white wine with bread (un ver du vin blanc et du pain si vous plait). Your oysters, wine, bread and a slice of lemon duly arrive and you are left to savour oysters straight from the sea that morning and a sharp fresh white wine to wash them down with. Best of all the whole thing cost not much more than 6 euros when last experienced. This, assuming you like oysters is a must do for your visit.
