First try this:

For the connoisseur of sea food one can visit oyster farms and enjoy
fresh sea food. you could head up north to Marennes and make a round
trip back to bordeaux going to Brantome for exemple. I always advise to
eat at Relais&Chateaux Relais Gourmands www.relaisgourmands.com . Nice
for your palate but you need a good credit card.
