In 1995, he chose to start his business project by bringing “Pousse en Claire” up to date on the family oyster farming land, exploited by his grandfather since 1939, using a traditional farming method: a careful selection of oysters, raised then refined in clear for 6 to 8 months at a rate of one and a half oysters per m2.
