Guerande

One of the "field trips" we took last week was a trip to Guerande, a medieval city not far from Claire's parents' in LaBaule. The old part of the city (shown in this aerial view obviously not taken by my camera) is surrounded by a large wall and there's several cool little shops inside, as well as the obligatory large church.

Here's some other pictures of our shopping trip to Guerande:





Finally, Guerande is also known for its production of sea salt. Nearby swampland collects seawater, and during the summer months evaporation and farming allows for the harvest of sea salt.
