Discover the people who make local cuisine tick: gourmet portraits, authentic recipes and local know-how to celebrate the art of good eating on the Guérande peninsula.

Here, the cuisine tells a story. It’s the story of a land where sea and land come together every day to produce products of rare freshness, shaped by passionate men and women. On the Guérande peninsula, flavours are born of patient know-how: freshly landed fish from the sea, hand-harvested salt, vegetables grown on generous soils, craftsmen who knead, smoke, simmer or reinvent.

Through their portraits and recipes, we discover personalities who are attached to their environment, proud to pass on the authenticity of a cuisine that is simple, genuine and deeply rooted in its terroir. Here, each plate becomes an invitation to better understand what makes up the culinary identity of La Baule-Presqu’île de Guérande: love of the product, respect for the rhythm of nature and the joy of sharing. Welcome to a world where eating well is a culture, almost an art of living.

On the Presqu’île de Guérande, the chefs have come up with recipes that tell the story of their intimate relationship with local produce: from the sea, the land, the marshes and the gardens. Designed to bring out the best in freshness and simplicity, these creations are also an invitation to get your hands dirty. It’s up to you: take inspiration from their creativity and reinvent these dishes from a gourmet land at home. Each recipe is a way of extending the experience, tasting local know-how… and sharing a little of the spirit of the place at your table.
