Great family time, we recommend - Great visit! I was a little scared with my young children but finally it was super adapted and we all loved it. The guide was really top, very clear and interesting. We learn a lot about salt marshes and the know-how behind them. And special mention for this small family business, it's nice to discover this. Thanks again!

This was a wonderful and... - This was a wonderful and informative tour! We all really enjoyed learning a bit about the history and the how the salt is harvested. We got to taste the salt and some of the plants that grow around the marsh, and bring home lovely souvenirs. And the nearby area was lovely to explore afterward. Highly recommended!

Lively, interactive, informative. - Lively, interactive, welcoming. This was such fun, we wouldn’t have believed how interesting it was. Lots about history and the palusiers - salt makers - who’ve been using the same methods for centuries. Don’t miss the Salt Marsh Museum (Musée des Marais Salants) in Batz-sur-Mer which is excellent too.

Pleasant and very rewarding visit. The guide masters his subject and gives plenty of anecdotes. Super - The September period is not ideal. Preferred July/August after a great tide. In order to come across a harvest of fleur de sel.
