Overlooking the immensity of the salt marshes, the medieval city of Guérande is a true historical jewel. Often nicknamed the 'Carcassonne of the West', it offers a dizzying dive into the splendor of the Breton Middle Ages.

A preserved fortified setting

The city is completely surrounded by monumental granite ramparts, more than 1,300 meters long, flanked by powerful towers and posterns.

Strolling in the maze of streets

Once through the walls, the car is banned. The streets are full of artisan shops, jewelry creators, and local products.
