La Baule - presqu'île de Guérande
La Baule is located in one of the most beautiful bays in the world. It is renowned for its beach, and dazzles with its magnificent villas – listed as heritage sites – and gems of seaside architecture. The city is also known for its prestigious hotels, making it perhaps the most chic of resort towns on the Atlantic coast !
Whatever the time of the day, the resort cultivates a certain elegance, from the morning gallops of the horses, to the terraces of beach restaurants, from thalassotherapy sessions to evenings at the casino.
A little further afield, Guérande is an essential stop-off if you want to step back in time. A medieval fortified town with more than 1 km of ramparts, Guérande has a history of legends and white gold … The enhancement of its precious heritage has enabled it to become part of the network of Cities and Countries of Art and History. The mosaic of colors offered by its salt marshes also leaves visitors speechless.
