Abstract

Like most other oyster fishers from the bay of Marennes-Oleron, the first bay in Europe for oyster production, Jeanne belongs to one of those deep-rooted coastal families, who have cultivated salt ponds, the land between the ponds and small vineyards, for many centuries. As far back as the 17th century—Jeanne’s genealogy has not been traced farther—her ancestors were already living in the same places as she does today, within a triangle of about 3 sq miles—her whole universe.
