Beach holidays on camping sites at the wide mouth of the Loire river

In Loire-Atlantique, the region on the sea coast, you will reach the small town of Guérande with its medieval city wall and the St Michel Gate. The peninsula is called the Land of White Gold. Because it is known for its sea salt production: On salt fields you can experience how "Fleur de Sel" is extracted by evaporation in the sun. The Vendée with its endless, fine sandy beaches is also a popular area for family holidays. In seaside resorts like St Jean-de-Monts you can try almost all water sports and conquer the shallow sandy beach. In tranquil seaside resorts like St. Hilaire-de-Riez you can enjoy a lot of family time, bathing pleasure and the healthy sea climate. Also the old flower and fishing village St. Gilles as well as the more than ten kilometers long beach and dune belt of La Tranche are worth a visit.

After a beach day enjoy the kitchen and discover the interior

Seafood such as fresh oysters, mussels, and shrimps or Bigorneaux (sea snails) cooked in garlic play an important role in the local gourmet cuisine. If you journey relaxed by bike, but travel faster than a snail, a tour to the menhirs and windmills of the region is worthwhile. Or cycle upstream into the "Garden of France", into the fruit and wine growing paradises along the Loire cycle path. Find out now about comfortable rental accommodation on campsites along the Loire...
