Port Lauzieres, Nieul sur Mer

 Port Lauzieres, like most of the "ports" around here is a centre for mussel and oyster farming, this one located around an inlet. We have driven along to the end of the road to the "point" a few times and noticed  a restaurant but never found it open. On this visit with Mick and Ann we found not one but four restaurants and three of them packed out. SO by default we ended up having a very pleasant evening in the fourth Le Marochon. Le Marochon is a new enterprise, opening its doors for the first time in April this year. Clearly they are first and foremost shelfish farmers and restaurateurs second. If they keep up the standard of food and tighten up on the efficiency of service their is no reason why it won't prosper. The feel of the place is very laid back, with  a sense that the people being "beginners".

All four of the restaurants in this spot are seasonal opening in April and closing September / October. Two of them are at the "point" and we have booked in to one of them for Saturday night.
