Shellfishing at Locmariaquer

We awoke December 2 to the sound of cars arriving and people heading for the beach at sunrise (which is pretty late in these parts). What we initially assumed was the early morning sunrise yoga practice at Pierre Plats turned out to be scores of people in Wellies with rakes and buckets and claws, walking and wading out into the tidal flats to gather mussels, clams, and oysters. Alas, we left our clam digging gear back in Montana!

Scores of people








Gleaners of the Sea...the whole village it seemed like....









A whole basket of oysters!
