History

THE HISTORY OF THE FAMILY
Through 7 generations, we can relive the epic of the Arcachon Basin.

To avoid the long crossings from Gujan-Mestras to their parks, the Reveleau and cousins ​​settled in the cove of Canon in Lège Cap Ferret, sheltered from the wind (south wind, rain on the bottom, etc.) in simple wooden huts.

Originally sardine fishermen, the Reveleau, as soon as the parks were opened to production, became oyster farmers. The collection of wild oysters was succeeded by the peasants of the sea.

In 1920, Claude and his ancestors sold the oysters to cooperatives. Then Philippe gave the impetus to marketing in France and Europe.

Neglecting the aluminum plates, Vincent restored his grandfather’s wooden barge and the “Balade sur Chaland” adventure was born.

A fleet of 5 boats take you, over time, to places that are difficult to access in the Arcachon Bay.
This journey off the beaten track is also animated by the passion of these local sailors who love to share their passion for the Bay, their anecdotes… A WHOLE ART OF LIVING

We stroll through this living tableau, a glass in hand, oysters or even with a custom feast that can be served on board.

Over time, weddings, birthdays, meetings are celebrated on the barges.

The Reveleaus make the brides laugh and the seminarians dance!

Finally, Vincent brings his know-how to a recent spring of the Bassin, tourism.
None of this would exist if they were not all driven by the love of their profession and their attachment to the Bassin d’Arcachon.

Today the Reveleau family now opens the doors of the production cellars to you to taste some oysters in a vintage and flowery decor facing the colors of the Bassin.

Everyone thus participates in the work of the family in an authentic and relaxed setting.

It took years for the family to open the doors of their history, their region, in these unique places in the heart of the peninsula. One ambition, to share this family treasure with you quite simply.

A few steps from Aïtama, the beach. Going for a swim when you wake up while the village is asleep, will allow you to tame the peaceful Aïtama.

Don’t forget to admire a bronze statue erected in the oyster park, which pokes its nose out at low tide and watches over the family, reminding them of their roots.

About
This house is a memory. Aïtama is a combination of two words: "Aïtonia" (grandfather) and Ama (grandmother).
This Basque-style building founded by Philippe and Patricia Rèveleau pays tribute to this clarinet-playing oyster farmer grandfather and this oyster farmer grandmother with a passion for travel.
