Mythique & Prestigieuse

La Baule owes its fame to its famous beach of fine sand, that stretches over 9 km between the ports of Pornichet and Pouliguen, lapped by the waves of the turquoise sea.

The supervised beach of La Baule, one of the longest in Europe, belongs to the highly prestigious Select Club of the most beautiful bays in the world. But La Baule is also about charming villas, prestigious hotels, quality restaurants, a wealth of cultural events (Film and Music Festival, Atlantia, Music Festival in La Baule and so on) and a large number of sporting activities (sailing, tennis, golf, horse riding, Longines Jumping International, nautical regattas, triathlon, etc.)

From “La Bôle” to “La Baule”

In 1879, a new railway line was inaugurated and served the fledgeling seaside resorts of Pornichet, Pouliguen and the more established Croisic.

But the train did not yet stop at “La Bôle”.

It wasn’t until 1882 that this wet and muddy area was gradually transformed into a welcoming landscape, stabilised by the newly planted forest. “La Bôle” thus became a beautiful seaside resort and was henceforth called “La Baule”, the spelling chosen by the Orleans Company to designate the railway station that would popularise the resort.

La Baule, a prestigious seaside resort

What makes La Baule an unmissable resort is, without a doubt, its lifestyle. That it is pleasant to enjoy its fine sandy beach, to share a drink or a meal with family or friends in one of its famous beach bars or restaurants.

The Avenue de Gaulle or the Casino Gallery will satisfy your desire for shopping and it’s fun to stroll around the market square to discover the Baulois and regional products.

Those curious about architecture will be able to stroll on foot or by bike to discover the magnificent seaside villas with Moorish, Basque, English, Art Deco or Belle Epoque influence.

La Baule, one of the most beautiful bays in the world

Stretching between Pornichet and Le Pouliguen, the beach at La Baule offers a playground of vast dimensions. The youngest children will enjoy the beach clubs, and the older ones are bound to be tempted by water activities (sailing, paddle, catamaran, kayak…). But everyone will enjoy getting together to enjoy the pleasures of life between idleness, swimming and beach restaurants.

Shore fishing enthusiasts can take advantage of the high tides and head for the beach on the Benoît side.

The salt marshes

The salt marshes, a veritable mosaic of colours, create a spectacular landscape that has been shaped by man for centuries. Between April and September, the salt workers can be seen carrying out the tasks that have been passed down from generation to generation and that are the pride of our region.

Be sure to visit Terre de Sel and the Maison des Paludiers in Guérande and the Musée des Marais Salants in Batz-sur-Mer to learn more about the salt marshes and salt production.

Lovers of fauna and flora will also discover the marshes’ remarkable ecosystem, especially the variety of bird species found in the area.

The medieval city of Guérande

A fortified medieval town, Guérande belongs to the renowned network of 150 Cities and Lands of Art and History. No surprise then that this city, cherished by the Dukes of Brittany, captivated illustrious writers such as Flaubert and Balzac.

As you arrive in Guérande, you cannot fail to admire its 14th -century ramparts, classified as historic monuments, which extend over nearly 1,300 metres. Passing through one of its four gates, enjoy a surprising stroll in the heart of the medieval city: charming pedestrian shopping streets, a lively market square, magnificent medieval residences and a majestic collegiate church in the flamboyant gothic style.

Gourmets will tickle their taste buds with salt, of course, but the famous salted butter caramels, Kouign Amann and even crêpes are utterly delicious too.

A peninsula with a wealth of small cities full of character

The huge diversity of the Guérande peninsula’s coastline, its beaches and its cultural and historical heritage all contribute to its uniqueness.

Beach lovers can bask in the sun at Pornichet. On the Promenade du Pouliguen, families can enjoy the rides, the summer activities and taste the famous “niniches”, lollipops with tangy flavours. Children will be thrilled to discover the Océarium du Croisic and will love the opportunity to go for a walk along the wild coastline. You can also take a stroll and enjoy a delicious crêpe in the picturesque town of Piriac-sur-Mer. Finally, don’t miss the fish auction in the pretty fishing port of La Turballe before sitting down and enjoying a drink on one of the terraces.
