Mesquer

Mesquer is best known in Pays de la Loire for its traditional salt marshes, part of the Guérande salt-making area. On France’s Atlantic coast in Loire-Atlantique, the commune combines low-lying marshland with coves and sandy beaches; Quimiac is its principal seaside locality. Salt was historically gathered by directing seawater through a network of shallow basins, a practice that has shaped the local terrain. Mesquer lies between the coastal communes of Piriac-sur-Mer and Assérac, close to the larger marshes around Guérande.
