Travel in France: Cancale - Oyster Capital of the Northern Brittany Coast.

The best oysters in France are in Cancale on the northern coast of Brittany (Bretagne). Just a stone's throw from St. Malo, the Mont Saint-Michel and the French region of Normandy, the oyster beds stretch WAY far out into the sea.

The oyster market (Marché aux Huîtres de Cancale) is the perfect place to grab a plate of some of the world's best oysters. They don't get fresher or more delicious than this! And you'll find the lowest prices in France here as well as many, many varieties to choose from.

Sit on the seawall or at the picnic table with your oysters and enjoy the view of the ocean, the two islands just off the coast (L’île des mouettes and île de Rimains) and hopefully a nice, clear blue sky. And maybe a bottle of wine as well!
