What to do in Pornichet?

Start with a long stroll along the seafront, between Bonne-Source Beach and Les Libraires Beach, where the fine sand and the waters of the Atlantic stretch as far as the eye can see. Pornichet’s marina, one of the largest on the Atlantic coast, invites you to stroll amongst the sailing boats, set off on a boat trip or simply enjoy a seafood platter with your feet almost in the water. Just a stone’s throw away, La Baule Bay, one of the most beautiful in Europe, offers a sandy arc stretching for several kilometres, which you can explore on foot or by bike, depending on your mood and the tide.

In the immediate hinterland, the Guérande salt marshes form one of the most distinctive landscapes in the Loire-Atlantique. Here, salt workers have been perpetuating an ancestral craft for centuries: a guided tour of the marshes, featuring a tasting of fleur de sel and grey salt, is a must for any curious visitor. The medieval town of Guérande, surrounded by its perfectly preserved ramparts, is also well worth a longer stop, as is the Guérande Peninsula and its fishing villages, whose charm remains intact.

Pornichet market, bustling all year round, brings together the best of the coast and the hinterland: fishmongers selling sea bass, sea bream and langoustines caught that very day, market gardeners from the Loire Valley, cheese merchants and producers of Guérande salt. In the restaurants, treat yourself to a plate of clams à la marinière, a Breton lobster grilled in salted butter, a sea bass fillet encrusted in Guérande salt, or a steaming Atlantic chowder served with a chilled Muscadet sur lie.
