Who has never dreamed of going far away, for just a while, or for ever? For a change of air, a change of life… Or simply to live out some new adventure. Brittany and its islands have never been short of bold adventurers setting off to seek treasure, excitement or just to try a human experience.
Patrick Saigot and his family settled on the Ile de Groix some 10 years ago. There they led a quiet, simple life till the day when the mussel farmer decided to up anchor and leave for the other side of the planet along with his wife, Faustine, and their three children. Destination: Madagascar with a new challenge to be faced. Patrick was going to open the first oyster farm on the island.
Madagascar is one of the poorest places in the world.
Patrick gave himself two years to pull off his gamble, two years to adapt the techniques of oyster farming, pass on his knowledge and offer a future to a village cut off from the rest of the world.
We followed the family from Groix to Madagascar… An adventure far off the beaten track, an adventure from island to island.
