THE AREA
Whilst in a regional re-organisation in the early 1980’s Loire Atlantique became part of The Pays de la Loire, many locals still think of it as Southern Brittany and consider themselves as Breton. The department starts just south of Redon and incorporates the Atlantic Coast from La Baule to Pornic and takes in the famous freshwater marshland of the Parc de la Briere, which can be explored on foot, by bike, boat or on horseback. The regional capitol, sitting on the banks of the Loire, is the historic city of Nantes.
La Baule, 30 minutes away, a famous and sophisticated resort which really buzzes in the evening, has beautiful beaches, safe bathing and great restaurants, and all along the Cote Sauvage are delightful little ports and beaches.
A little North is the Morbihan Gulf. This wonderful little sea of Brittany is a maze of sandbanks and green islands, flooded twice a day by the Atlantic. The historic towns of Vannes and Auray, the standing stones of Carnac and the long Quiberon peninsula lie on or around the shores of the Morbihan. Vannes, which sits at the Easterly edge of the Morbihan, is especially worth a visit.
Sailing and boating is readily available on the Loire, in the Morbihan, La Vilaine and from the numerous ports and marinas along the coast. Ferries also go regularly to the delightful islands just off the coast.
