Ria d'Etel.

Bassins de pierre construits au XIX siècle pour conserver les huîtres lors des tempêtes. Ils sont abandonnés aujourd’hui au profit des « tables ». (voir image intitulée « Oyster farm » dans cette galerie). Comme les « tables » modernes, ces anciennes constructions ne sont visibles qu’à marée basse. La conchyliculture est très étendue dans toute la Bretagne Sud. 6000 tonnes d’huîtres y sont élevées chaque année. L’huître la plus renommée est l’´huitre plate de Belon.

Stone basins built in the XIX century to preserve oysters during storms. They are abandoned today in favour of “tables”. (see picture entitled “Oyster farm” in this gallery). Like modern “tables”, these old walls are only visible at low tide. Shellfish farming is very widespread throughout Southern Brittany. 6000 tonnes of oysters are bred there every year. The most famous oyster is the flat oyster of Belon.

this 'old technology' must have worked at the time, and describes a strong curve through the scene...an excellent depiction..V
