The salt marshes

The salt marshes between Guérande, Batz-sur-Mer, Le Croisic and La Turballe are one of the peninsula’s most emblematic landscapes. This unique territory, shaped by the work of salt workers, invites you to discover an ancestral know-how around the famous Guérande salt.

Along the way, the scenery changes with the light: shimmering pools, salt carnations, dykes, canals, small piles of white salt, reflections of the sky in the water and salt workers’ huts create a setting that’s both peaceful and lively. Many birds can also be seen, especially in the wetlands, which give the marshes a natural, unspoilt atmosphere.

It’s a must-see if you want to understand the local identity, enjoy a relaxing stroll and admire an exceptional heritage of land, sea and tradition.
