An unforgettable moment in the heart of the Guérande salt marshes - We had a great time visiting the salt marshes of Guérande. Our guide, a true enthusiast, was able to enthusiastically transmit all the richness of this ancestral art of salt harvesting. It is fascinating to see how this know-how is still carried on today with respect and faithfulness to tradition. Every gesture, every step of the process is full of history and precision. A rewarding visit! We leave with memories full of head and of course, some salt!
