It would be unthinkable to stay in La Baule without dedicating half a day to visiting the mythical salt marshes of Guérande. Spanning over 2,000 hectares, this labyrinth is absolutely unique in Europe.
An ecosystem on the water's edge
The operation of the salt marshes relies on a subtle balance between the ocean, the sun, and the wind. Evaporation gradually increases the salt concentration.
The salt worker's trade
This landscape would be nothing without the hard work of the salt workers. The jewel of the marshes is the 'fleur de sel', carefully harvested by hand.
