Wine Cooler And Mussels

The coolest wine cooler!!
Seen at La Rhétaise

“La Rhétaise est une cabane ostréicole située au cœur des marais de la Couarde sur l’Ile de Ré. Nous sommes 2 sœurs à mener la barque: Jana s’occupe de la production et Charlotte la vend. Un véritable travail d’équipe !
D’avril à novembre nous vous accueillons sur notre site de 7 hectares de marais où vous pourrez déguster les huîtres et crevettes de nos productions mais aussi d’autres produits de la mer comme les moules, les bulots, les palourdes, etc …”

“La Rhétaise is an oyster farm located in the heart of the Couarde marshes on the Île de Ré. We’re two sisters running the show: Jana looks after production and Charlotte handles sales. It’s a real team effort!
From April to November, we welcome you to our 7-hectare marshland site, where you can sample our own oysters and prawns, as well as other seafood such as mussels, whelks, clams and more …”

Salt

Salt has been harvested on the Île de Ré since the Middle Ages – or perhaps even much longer!
The salt marshes consist of shallow basins in which the seawater slowly evaporates under the influence of the sun and wind. Through this process, which lasts several weeks, salt crystals form naturally.
I cycle around the area a lot and come across a stand run by a very nice lady with salt-white hair! I buy four bags of Fleur de Sel.
