Marais salents

Twelve hours on the road is a bit long but we have arrived with friends on Noirmoutier in splendid evening sunshine and beautiful luminosity. A quick walk along the beach and by the salt pans is a good way to clear the head and freshen up. I will take home some fleur de sel which is so salty and a great condiment. It is the first skimming of the salt pan when evaporation begins and it comes at a premium.
