VI THE HISTORY OF THE CAVIAR AND THE ESTURGEON AT THE MUSEUM AUBERGE open all year round on request

‍

The Caviar and Sturgeon Inn-Museum is a place of cultural activities that tells the story of French caviar and the European sturgeon of the estuary during the first half of the 20th century.
The old sturgeon inn and the village of St Seurin d'Uzet are historic sites for the preparation and tasting of Gironde caviar, the first caviar produced in France in the 1920s, thanks to the Maison Prunier, a famous Parisian restaurant and historic operator for over 50 years. This is what still earns the village the name of "caviar capital" in France.
