Legend has it that an Irish traveller, Patrick Walton, invented the \u201cbouchot\u201d (mussel stake) back in the 12th century! He settled here after his ship went down in Aiguillon Bay just north of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.parc-marais-poitevin.fr\/villes-villages-marais-poitevin\/visiter-la-rochelle-et-ses-environs\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>La Rochelle<\/strong><\/a>, and spent his time catching birds to survive. It is said that he caught them in nets stretched between stakes planted in the seabed. The stakes soon became covered in mussels that quickly grew fat and fleshy. The Irishman then added more stakes and placed grids between them. He called these barriers \u201cbout\u201d (fence) and \u201cchot\u201d (wood), hence the name \u201cbouchot\u201d given to tidewater mussels.<\/p>\n<p>The local mussel is the \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.moules-la-charron.com\/charron_etape_1.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Charron<\/strong><\/a>\u201d, a designation granted only to mussels that meet a strict set of requirements and come from the mussel farming centres of Marsilly, Esnandes, Charron and Aiguillon-sur-Mer.<\/p>\n<p>Another technique is to grow mussels on ropes stretched out in the open sea. In this case the mussels grow faster because they are constantly under water.<br \/>\nTo find out more about mussel farming, a visit to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.parc-marais-poitevin.fr\/en\/discovery\/maison-baie-marais-poitevin\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>the Marais poitevin\u2019s Maison de la Baie<\/strong><\/a> in Esnandes (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.infiniment-charentes.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Charente-Maritime<\/a>) is a must.

It is attributed with multiple medicinal properties and other, almost magical benefits&#8230; Also known as angel\u2019s herb,\u00a0 it is said to have been used to treat the plague but also to induce miscarriage, hence its reputation as a \u201cmaker of angels\u201d. Those days are fortunately behind us.<\/p>\n<p>From the same family as aniseed and parsley, angelica from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.parc-marais-poitevin.fr\/en\/discovery\/discover-green-venice-poitevin-marsh\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Green Venice<\/strong><\/a> has been a very popular herb since the 12th century. First introduced by the monks who were in charge of building the marsh canals, angelica is harvested in summer. Whether wild or cultivated, it can grow up to two metres tall. Resistant to disease and thriving in wetlands, it has adapted extremely well to the Marais poitevin.<\/p>\n<p>This herb has a subtle fragrance reminiscent of spearmint, with hints of gentian and wormwood.\u00a0 Nowadays, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.parc-marais-poitevin.fr\/en\/discovery\/angelica-the-emblematic-plant-of-the-marais-poitevin\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>angelica<\/strong><\/a> from the marshes comes in many different forms and is widely showcased and promoted. It adds a delicious aroma to cakes and pastries but is also consumed as candied angelica, in liqueurs and syrups, and even in herbal teas. Here are a few recipe suggestions that will make your mouth water!!<\/p>\n<p>The essential oil is a reputed tonic and stress reliever, and is also used in cosmetics to make soaps and shampoos, and in medicines for its many soothing properties. One of its main distinguishing characteristics is that every part of the plant &#8211; leaves, roots and seeds &#8211; is edible and each is used in one field or another.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>We have wine and beer too!<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>To wash down these local specialities, the Marais poitevin also has its own beverages.
