Guérande is a destination of choice for travellers in search of history, culture and nature. With its medieval trading town, picturesque salt marshes and rich regional gastronomy, it offers an authentic and immersive experience. A vibrant city nestled between the Bay of La Baule and the Brière marshes, with the Loire to the south and the Vilaine to the north. Since 2004, Guérande has held the title of Ville d’Art et d’Histoire (City of Art and History).
Beyond the Porte Saint-Michel, 32 villages and 72 traditional hamlets spread the character of a preserved heritage: salt workers’ houses (Saillé), thatched houses of Brière (La Madeleine), small-foot mills, mansions and castles (Careil)… A heritage and a tradition kept alive by the salt workers who work in the listed salt marshes.
