A Family Legacy Spanning Five Generations

La Cabane du Paliquey was born from a deep-rooted passion for oyster farming on the Bassin d'Arcachon, passed down through five generations of a dedicated family.

In 2004, Nicolas Labarthe breathed new life into an old oyster hut at the Port de La Teste-de-Buch, reviving a century-old tradition. Today, each oyster raised in the deep waters of the Bassin and aged for six months tells the story of an exceptional maritime terroir.

The Name Paliquey: A Tribute to Ancestral Fishing

The name Paliquey honours Nicolas's great-grandfather, a fisherman who practised the pêche au palet — an ancient technique once common across the Bassin d'Arcachon, now vanished.
