MARAIS SALANTS DE LA VIE

About us

The Salt Marshes of Life: an alchemy of earth, water, sun, wind and man.
Guided by the salt-maker, set off to discover the white gold.

Neighbouring Saint Jean de Monts, Saint Hilaire de Riez boasts a multitude of landscapes and unique heritage treasures, typical of the Marais Breton Vendéen.
One of these treasures is the Marais Salants de la Vie, a jewel in the crown of local history, where salt has been harvested since the 7th century.
