| Fleur de Sel de Noirmoutier. |
I am back from France with a few goodies. This is the best salt you can ever find: Fleur de sel from an island off the cost of Vendee in France, called Noirmoutier. We went there for the day, visited the salt fields and swam in the cold but beautiful sea. Noirmoutier is now connected to the mainland by an impressive bridge, but in the past you had to take a boat or drive over a road only available at low tide, called Le Gois. We took Le Gois on our way back and stopped in the middle to collect palourdes (a type of shellfish) by digging with our hands in the mud. What fun! And the palourdes tasted great too.
