Cyclists and musicians especially welcome
Fleur de Sel sits at the heart of coastal woodland at the mouth of the famous Loire River. It is well known for its garden which has won several local awards for its excellence. It is also very convenient for cyclists, being directly on several national and international cycle trails - Eurovelo 1 and 6 as well as the Loire à Vélo, Vélodyssée & Accueil à Vélo network. It's a place where the creative arts rub shoulders with music. It is also :
​​
-
50 meters from the beach
-
10 minutes from Saint-Nazaire
-
10 minutes from Pornic
-
15 minutes from La Baule
​
Settle in comfortably into our beautiful Fleur de Sel suite before going for a walk down the road in Saint-Brévin's town centre or a wander across the dunes and pine trees just behind the sea shore. If you have arrived in time, you can take a walk along the wide sand beaches or breathe in the scent of the flowering mimosas...

Breakfast at Fleur de Sel is a special occasion to be savoured before you get back on your bikes (or your feet) for a busy day. Coffee, tea, hot chocolate (or another drink if we have it) is served with fresh bread, croissant, cake or homemade brioche, yoghurt and jams (including the famous English "Fleur de Sel" marmalade made with kumkwats from the garden). You can also have fruit juice and cereals.
​​
Breakfast is served from 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. (exceptionally earlier, on request)
Music etc...
Fleur de Sel is a place where music rubs shoulders with the creative arts under the aegis of Brigitte Casagranda, author of more than 40 "how to" books on creative activities. She is also a decorator with several prestigious clients to her credit.
​​
It also has two pianos (an upright Yamaha and a fine Erard grand from the 1930s). Chamber music rehearsals or for small ensembles are possible on request as well as a lessons, artistic advice or accompaniment.
The garden
The garden is a real passion for Brigitte Casagranda who regularly receives prizes for its exceptional qualities.
Vélos et le Pont de Saint Nazaire
Le Pont Saint Nazaire (à un kilomètre de Fleur de Sel) enjambe l'estuaire de la Loire et s'étend sur environ 4 km, offrant aux voyageurs une vue spectaculaire de la Loire. C''est la maillon indispensable entre les rives nord et sud de la Loire et est équipé d'une piste cyclable qui permet aux cyclistes intrépides de passer d'une rive à l'autre, la seule autre possibilité étant de traverser avec le Bac au Pellerin à 47 km à l'est.
​​
Il est toutefois important de noter que la piste cyclable est très étroite et n'est pas réellement adaptée aux cyclistes dans le respect des normes actuelles de sécurité.
​
Compte tenu des conditions de circulation et du vent, la circulation peut s'y avérer difficile. La prudence est donc de mise pour les cyclistes et est fortement déconseillé aux enfants. Le dépassement de poids lourds peut vous entraîner dans la trajectoire des voitures qui les suivent et qui n'ont pas toujours le temps d'éviter la collision.
​​
Pour répondre à ces besoins pendant la saison estivale, une navette est proposée par la communauté de communes dans les deux sens Pour plus d'information, renseignez-vous sur https://www.pornichet.fr/traversee-du-pont-de-saint-nazaire
Pour les autres mois de l'année, c'est le bus 317 (Aléop) qui assure la liaison. Sinon, pour traverser en taxi avec votre vélo (et remorque) : Saint-Brevin Taxis (7/7) 02 40 27 23 07​
