    Hiking

    Probably the most famous salt in Brittany bears the well-known name "Sel de Guérande". Even if Guérande no longer officially belongs to Brittany, the peninsula was traditionally the center of salt production in north-west France. The origins of salt extraction in Guérande go back to the 8th century. Little has changed since then in the methods of salt harvesting.

    “Fleur de Sel”, the flower of salt, is the nobler variety. Fleur de Sel from the Guérande are salt flakes that form on the surface of the water during the evaporation process

    Hiking

    Guérande salt is so iconic that we called the boat that took us around the world "Fleur de Sel". A beautiful place to discover the art of salt works and the trade of salt workers.
