The Guérande Peninsula: seaside resorts and a rocky coastline.
Between Assérac and Piriac-sur-Mer, the rocky coastline conceals lots of little beaches, all inviting spots for just relaxing.
Take time off to taste some oysters at the port of Kercabellec at Mesquer and enjoy the picturesque character village of Piriac-sur-Mer, an unspoiled fishing port. You will be delighted by La Turballe, the Atlantic coast's top sardine-fishing port, still a very active centre for this industry.
All the way along the coast path you can admire the countryside: the Pointe de Pen Bé at Assérac, the Pointe de Merquel at Mesquer, the Pointe du Castelli at Piriac-sur-Mer, the Pointe de Pen Bron at La Turballe…
Then why not go for a bracing walk by the sea? You'll get heady on the spray of the wild coast, between the fishing port of Le Croisic and the Pointe de Penchâteau, at Le Pouliguen! Next in line is the famous La Baule Bay, between Le Pouliguen and Pornichet. The hinterland is lovely too: everywhere you go you'll find villas, each more charming than the last. Before you cross the Loire, stop off at Saint-Nazaire and use the coast path to explore its inlets and cliffs!
