Location
This beautiful Normandy-style longhouse, facing south, enjoys an exceptional setting between the Seulles River, the sea, and the oyster farming basins. The lighthouse, the small bridge, and the mill all add to the beauty of the site!
In the last century, the Isle of Plaisance was accessible via a drawbridge! The prosperity of the oyster trade led to the creation of the port of Joinville, with seven million dozen oysters shipped to Paris in 1829.
During the Second World War, the property was occupied by the Germans and later destroyed during the D-Day landings.
Rebuilt in the 1960s, it became home to the Oyster Diorama in 1962. La Chaumière was inaugurated in 1964, the mill was constructed in 1972, and the conservatory was added in 1995.
Since 2014, La Maison Bleue has become part of this story!
