Mélanie Daspremont, saline de l'Ileau

Mélanie Daspremont, a salt worker in the Breton marshes, produces exquisitely flavoured salts from her Bourgneuf-en-Retz salt marsh in Villeneuve-en-Retz.

Passionate about her work, Mélanie harvests several types of salt: fleur de sel, coarse salt, flavoured salts... all of the highest quality!

Mélanie holds a BPREA in salt farming and set up in the Breton marshes 5 years ago. During the winter of 2017/2018, she completely restored a saltworks, which she still operates today. Since then, she has been passionate about maintaining this natural environment, a haven of peace for migratory birds, where the salt crystallises in fine weather.

The Ileau salt works are difficult to access because they are located in a protected natural area, which is why Mélanie does not offer guided tours.

Mélanie used to be a salt worker at the "Tenue de Mareil" salt works in Moutiers-en-Retz.
