Best Oysters from Arcachon in Bordeaux

Bordeaux is just an hour away from the Bassin d'Arcachon, one of France's premier oyster-producing regions. Oysters are traditionally served with 'crépinettes' (small, flat sausages), rye bread, and local butter. They are always accompanied by a glass of dry white Bordeaux wine like Entre-Deux-Mers. The combination of the salty ocean flavor and the rich sausage is a unique local tradition. Eating them at a market or by the river is a quintessential Bordeaux experience.
