Not forgetting that you can buy this natural salt after a visit to the salt marshes of Vendée. Like this, by offering it to your loved ones, you can show them all your photos and trace the history of salt !

In addition, Noirmoutier salt is a 100% local, authentic and environmentally friendly product. For an even more local touch, choose a salt flavored with herbs, perfect for grills or salads. Something to delight gourmets and lovers of good products!

The Tropicana tip:

Offer it as a duo with a pretty little terracotta pot to put the salt in. It immediately makes it look classier, and it’s a souvenir that’s as pretty as it is useful.
