La Perle des Dieux fish cannery

In Pornic town centre, enjoy the expertise of La Perle des Dieux fish cannery!

For 130 years, 4 generations of the Gendreau family have succeeded one another to offer you the rarity of an exceptional product: fresh nested sardines! The sardines are hand-crafted and tinned by hand in ever more innovative and tasty recipes: the goldsmith of the sea!

All La Perle des Dieux sardines are caught between Saint-Gilles-Croix-de-Vie, Noirmoutier, Ile d'Yeu and Ile de Ré. They are caught fresh, at the best time of the season, and hand-prepared by skilled "sardinières" in the latest canning factory in Saint-Gilles-Croix-de-Vie.

  Our customers' favourite product:
Vintage sardines, which improve with age! Over the years, the sardines mature in extra virgin olive oil, becoming increasingly melt-in-the-mouth.
And to make them even better, every year two artists paint the vintage sardines and the collector's boxes.

  The little extra from the La Perle des Dieux shop:
La Perle des Dieux also offers a wide range of recipes: fish rillettes and crumbles, seafood verrines and tapas, tuna jars, soups and bisques... Something to satisfy every appetite!
