Guérande is near the sea, at the western edge of the Pays de la Loire region, on the edge of the marshes of Grande-Brière. It formed part of Brittany until 1941.

Guerande is a small but beautiful walled town, on a peninsula known as the Guerande peninsula. Although not strictly a peninsula, the town is surrounded by the Atlantic to the west, and the marshlands to the east, with the Loire River to the south and the Vilaine River to the North.

The town has a medieval city, that is completely enclosed by ramparts, strong walls dating from the 15th century. The town is accessed through the fortified gateways in these walls.

There are two museums in the town - the castle museum (in one of the fortified gateways) and a doll museum. The sturdy, granite, church of St Aubin is in the centre of the town.

The town is also well known for its salt flats, which have provided the town with centuries of wealth. The salt drying pans can be seen on many of the river inlets in the region, where the salt is dried and harvested using traditional methods, unchanged during hundreds of years. There is a 'salt museum' if you are interested in the history of the industry.
