Saint-Julien-de-Concelles (French pronunciation: [sɛ̃ ʒyljɛ̃ də kɔ̃sɛl] ^ⓘ; Breton: Sant-Juluan-Kankell) is a commune in the Loire-Atlantique department in western France.^[3]

Saint-Julien-de-Concelles is the home of the popular beurre blanc sauce. The sauce was first prepared in a small restaurant on the banks of the river Loire.^[4] The town is also one of France's main growers of the mâche (lambs lettuce). Its flat and sandy land is suited to growing vegetables, such as leeks, and some flowers.^{[citation needed]} Saint-Julien-de-Concelles also grows the grapes on its hills that produce local Muscadet wine.

A large lake, known as the Plan d'Eau du Chêne, is located near to the center of Saint-Julien-de-Concelles. The lake supports sailing, fishing, various sports and attracts walkers and nature lovers.^{[citation needed]}
