Fall in love with the city of salt

Guérande is a village across France, and its salt is famous in the country. This city, called the West Carcassonne, are behind medieval walls that look like stone that is impassable. But nothing is further from the truth, the people are festive and friendly to everyone. Between the Atlantic and the marshes of Brière, the Loire River Vilaine south and north, the city is bathed by waters that have made it the biggest producer of salt in the region of Pays de la Loire. Guérande imposes enough when you are facing the walls. The latest Dukes of Brittany were in charge of this fort. It is a jewel of the military architectural heritage and is the only city that still retained its outside intact.

Its battlements conical slate and granite facades give us an idea of ​​the effort involved when it was being built. This medieval city of ancient customs has a mild climate. Outside Guérande, the salt act as mirrors that reflect the profile of its walls Perfect place for photographers! If you are thinking of the Pays de la Loire, I recommend the salted butter caramel Guérande. This is a toffee, as we've all eaten but with a salty touch. It is one of the products of western France and of Guérande. It has many uses, and it is common for multiple flavors frostings, bathing pancakes, muffins, waffles, ice cream and cookies. The development of salted butter caramel is simple and fast. There are many formulas for confit. They can be more or less dense mixtures. With a special touch and flavor, this candy is a real treat for the palate.

The CHRIE the Dukes of Brittany

La chérie des ducs de Bretagne

La ville de Guérande est une très belle cité médiévale fortifiée (les remparts, tous conservés, font 1434 mètres de circonférence). On entre dans la ville par la très imposante porte Saint-Michel. Les ruelles pavées sont magnifiques, elles regorgent de visiteurs qui se pressent notamment autour de la collégiale Saint-Aubain. Cette cité a inspiré plusieurs grands écrivains, notamment Balzac, Flaubert, Zola et Julien Gracq.

This city has inspired many great writers, including Balzac, Flaubert, Zola and Gracq.
