Le Croisic

Located at the tip of the Guérande peninsula, Le Croisic owes its appeal to its traditional fishing port and unspoilt natural surroundings. The Océarium du Croisic is a must-see attraction, as is the Tréhic lighthouse, particularly popular at sunset for its views over the estuary. The rugged coastline nearby is ideal for scenic walks, while the salt marshes can be explored on a guided tour run by Terre de Sel. The ramparts of Guérande, a short distance away, add further historical interest. Watersports enthusiasts can head to TyKayak to explore the coast, while families often enjoy Luna Park. Further north, the Brière marshland is best discovered by traditional flat-bottomed boat. For a bite to eat, the Les 3 Matelots crêperie in Le Croisic is well regarded for its quality ingredients and prompt service. The surrounding beaches and towns, including La Baule, make it easy to extend your exploration of this stretch of the Breton-Vendée Atlantic coast.
