Fleur de sel de Guérande is the most celebrated variety of fleur de sel, having obtained protected geographical status in France. It is harvested off the coast of Brittany in salt marches or 'marais salants' stretching 2000 hectares between the Loire and Vilaine rivers. The main towns around Guérande are Saint-Nazaire and Nantes to the East (19km (11.81mi) and 80km (49.71mi) away), and Vannes (70km (43.50mi) to the North).
