During the 17th and 18th centuries, the city was transformed, with bourgeois houses in granite replacing the houses of the 15th and 16th centuries. In 1686, at the Saint-Aubin public place, a new building was built called Les Halles; which was notable for its large auditorium. These mansions and houses represent about 50% of the buildings still visible today in the sector called the intra muros. Occurs in early August each year. This festival crosses multiple origins and styles of dance music, traditional singing tales, from the most authentic blend of culture forms. Different salts dissolve at different speeds and sometimes take time to disperse. Always go easy on the salt to start with – it’s better to add more later than to add too much. Temperature makes a difference as well: a dish that has been salted to taste whilst cold might be too salty after heating. Be especially careful with sauces and stews that reduce down during cooking; only add a very smallLe Guérandais Guérande Salt is produced in Brittany by the ocean, sun and wind and is hand-harvested by salt workers, using skills and a method that are over a thousand years old. But the real inspiration behind the salt marshes were the monks from Landévennec Abbey, who, in 945, founded Batz Priory and carved them out. By studying the tides, wind and sun, the monks mapped out a plan of the salt works, which is the one we see today. A titanic project, this open-air factory brought prosperity to Guérande for many centuries and opened up the first trading routes in Europe: it was the Eldorado of Brittany. They are a part of the salterns of the Atlantic Ocean, more than three-quarters of them, found in the Gironde and the peninsula of Quiberon. This salt is completely as nature created it - unwashed, unground, unrefined - nothing added or removed at all. It is an evident term for this rare product, which appears with the first gust of wind and disappears with the cool of the night.
The Peninsula represented an important crossroads for these and other tribes, as it was surrounded by waterways. One waterway was the river Vilaine, used by the tribes Redones and Veneti. The Loire river was used by the tribes Namnetes and Pictones, and the Atlantic Ocean was used by the tribes Veneti and by Greek traders. Guérande salt also contains extreme halophile (salt-loving) micro-organisms (link to glossary), which contribute to its colour and aroma. The dunaliela salina is a micro algae which gives the characteristic pink colour to the mother waters, feeds artemias, which themselves give the rose colour to salmon and flamingos.

There are many monuments of interest such as the Sainte-Catherine church (built during the 15th century), Requer's Cross ( listed building in 1944) as well as parts of an old Roman wall.Rich in prehistoric heritage, the city possesses several megalithic monuments classified or inscribed in the Historic Monuments like the dolmen of Sandun, or menhirs of Bissin, the Chapel and Keroland. The market of Guérande is held every Wednesday and Saturday morning inside the ramparts. A fish market is also organized every day except Mondays and Thursdays. The salterns of Guérande are a swamp of salt water about 1 700 hectares in size. The current saltmarshes began before the 9th century and lasted for several centuries. Around the year 1500, the marshes reached 80% of the current surface. The latest were built around 1800. In the middle of the 19th century, a gradual decline started for different reasons: competition from a salt mine, lower consumption of salt as a product of conservation and improvement of transport by land. It suffered little damage, other than to the windows. However, the Revolution led to major structural changes, since, in 1792, the status of Collegiate Church was abolished and the canons exiled to Spain.
On the Sunday closest to the 22nd of July, the Mtes festival is a folklore event featuring fireworks, concerts, a craft market or many activities. Every Friday in July and August, the Saint-Aubin collegiate church hosts the La Voix des Orgues music festival with various concerts.

Populations légales 2020". The National Institute of Statistics and Economic Studies. 29 December 2022.The Guérande Peninsula is surrounded by water. It stretches out from the Atlantic Ocean (west) to the Brière Regional Nature Reserve (east), and from the river Vilaine (north) to the Loire estuary (south).
The term is also found in “fleur de l’âge” (in the prime of life), defined by the Larousse dictionary as: “the freshness and spontaneity of one’s beginnings”. A real flower is transient and fragile, which gives its beauty. Whilst flower of salt cannot be produced by heating brine in an oven, after long periods of hot weather, when the clay bed is as hot as the water, our salt works produce a great deal, as the coarse salt no longer crystallises and the salt marshes are covered with flower of salt. At the end of the Breton War of Succession, peace was finally concluded before the high altar of Saint Aubin, ( Albinus of Angers) on Holy Saturday in 1365. In this the first Treaty of Guérande, Joanna of Penthièvre abdicated her disputed claims to the Dukedom in favour of John V of the House of Montfort. A modified form of Salic law was introduced in Brittany as a result. At a certain point in the year the conditions become just right for the salt to crystallise on the surface of these lagoons, rather than at the bottom. This is the time that the skilful "Plaudiers" carefully gather up these delicate salt crystals. This is the origin of the precious Fleur de Sel.
