Tasting freshly caught seafood on the coast: pure happiness!
Extra fresh seafood!
With its 2 km of shoreline, Finistère is resolutely turned towards the ocean. La Forêt-Fouesnant is no exception: 3 coves, 2 ports and also 2 fishponds! Fishponds are businesses with water basins storing shellfish and crustaceans.
Shellfish parks
No less than 15 hectares of shellfish beds line the bottom of Penfoulic cove. At the rhythm of the tides, shellfish benefit from optimal water quality to develop. Indeed, rich in phytoplanktons – microscopic plants naturally present in sea water – cockles, clams and oysters benefit from an ideal environment to grow.
At the Viviers de Penfoulic
Nestled in the hollow of Penfoulic cove, the Viviers de Penfoulic run by Béatrice Le Meur and Fabien Laupiès offer a breathtaking view of Cap Coz from the neighboring town of Fouesnant.
Access to the Viviers de Penfoulic is via the Beg an Aer road strike, please park your vehicle in the car park upstream of the beach.
