A exhibition ....
You can discover this natural setting at the Bay "Mussel farming and exploration" Centre of Vivier-Cherrueix, which promotes the observation and understanding of the living world.
This bay, which is one of the largest in Europe can be distinguished by a large tidal range, sometime reaching 15 metres, and by specific sedimentary shifts. At the Vivier-Cherrueix harbour these phenomena and their impact on the workings of the "Bay system" are explained by an exhibition and a museography.
