In the south of Brittany, in the heart of raw nature facing the Atlantic, more than 300 men and women join forces to reveal the intense flavours of their marshes and all the riches of their land.
Welcome to the Le Guérandais cooperative.
The salt workers The spirit of the marsh
It's mutual aid, equality, fairness and solidarity that have always shaped the Guérande marshes and that drive the spirit of the cooperative every day.
“I've always been immersed in the world of the salt marsh. When I was a child, it was part of my daily life."
As a son and grandson of salt workers in Guérande, nature was a defining element of my upbringing. And it has become my way of life
Complete freedom is something I really value: being my own boss, having no employees...These precious advantages exist in very few professio
Guérandais, and proud of it!

A cooperative born to protect its territory
Salt has been part of the history of the Guérande peninsula for over 2,000 years. It has shaped its landscape, shaped its history and developed its economy.
But doomed to disappear in the 1980s, Guérande's salt marshes owe their renaissance to the commitment of a handful of salt workers who relied on unity and solidarity to save and develop them.
