The Area
The village is half-way along a peninsula which ends in
Le Croisic. To one
side is the sea and beaches and to the other side are the salt
marshes. These are still
worked by the paludiers , using methods unchanged for
1000 years. The area is rich
in bird life and flora and the light over the salt marshes, if you are
a painter, is wonderful and constantly changing.
Le
Croisic - fishing port and popular marina. Very attractive small
town. Terminus for high speed
train (TGV) from Paris.
Guérande - beautiful, medieval walled city, a few miles inland. Big market on Wednesdays and
Saturdays in the season.
Le Pouliguen - a fishing and pleasure port at the mouth of the
river which separates it from La
Baule. A very pleasant place to have lunch with a good beach.
La Baule - miles of very beautiful beach (which stretches as far as
Pornichet). Expensive
shops, discos and some sophistication.
Parc de la
Brière - A freshwater marshland of hundreds of acres – a national
park. Boats are available to
take you along the waterways. You can load bicycles into the car to ride when you get there.
La Turballe - One of France’s most important sardine ports. You can cycle across the salt
marshes (or drive!) to get there. Fun when the trawlers come in at high tide. Buy your sardines and take them
home to barbeque.
|
Golf
courses - Several in the area, the better known being La
Bretesche at Missillac and La Baule.
Other
activities - Horse riding in La Baule, fishing, tennis courts in
Batz. Wonderful walks along
the Côte sauvage and good cycling.
Markets - Monday and Friday in Batz (July and August), La Baule covered market
(amazing) – every day. Every village/town has its own market
day. Twice a
year, a huge antique market (foire à la brocante) in Batz.
Restaurants
abound – several within walking distance.
Distances - St. Malo: 125 miles; Nantes:
55 miles; La Baule: 5 miles
