Laura and Vincent, Les Vergers du Littoral

Ajouter aux favoris

Meet Laura and Vincent at Vergers du Littoral and share their passion for organic fruit and short distribution channels.

Two routes a joint project

Behind Vergers du Littoral are Vincent Rotureau and Laura Casado-Arino, a young couple united by the same desire: to give meaning to their daily lives by returning to the land. Their very different backgrounds complement each other perfectly. Vincent, the son of farmers, spent ten years in humanitarian aid, managing agricultural and food security projects all over the world. Laura, on the other hand, spent a long time in the hustle and bustle of fashion and advertising as an artistic make-up artist.

When they took over the orchard, they found a common ground for expression: a place where farming is practised with care, simplicity and commitment. Today, Vincent is thriving in organic arboriculture, while Laura is building a local producers’ shop, a driving force behind short circuits and encounters. Together, they have made Les Vergers du Littoral a place where both fruit and human relationships are cultivated – an orchard that nourishes, connects and inspires.

Generous orchards delicious products

Each year, the orchard produces between 250 and 350 tonnes of fruit, some of which is processed on site into apple juice, apple jelly or quince jelly. Vincent and Laura carefully cultivate each tree and each piece of fruit, respecting the soil and biodiversity, to produce fresh, tasty products that are ready to share.

Les Vergers du Littoral is more than just a farm: it’s a place where meeting people and enjoying each other’s company are at the heart of the experience. Direct sales from the farm, tastings and discussions with the couple allow visitors to discover the fruits of their labour and get closer to local, organic farming. With the smell of ripe apples, the crunch of a juicy pear and the bright colours of the orchards, every visit becomes an immersion in the heart of nature and Laura and Vincent’s know-how.

Discover Vergers du Littoral, an organic orchard where Laura and Vincent invite you to savour the fruit of their passion. Freshly picked apples, pears, quinces and kiwis, or transformed into juices and jellies, are waiting to tantalise your taste buds. Between tastings, advice and strolls through the orchard aisles, each visit becomes a gourmet and convivial experience, an opportunity to reconnect with nature and take full advantage of the Guerande terroir.
