Tharon's large beach

Highlight • Beach

Beautiful stand - completely in home hands. Without annoying salesmen, probably because of good infrastructure (ice cream truck, restaurants, takeaways ...). Good facilities with changing rooms and showers.
Ebb and flood let a lot of time to build castles!

Vélocéan

Highlight • Cycleway

Parallel to the Vélodysée route, the Vélacé connects the towns on the Loire-Atlantique coast, from Mesquer in the north to Bourgneuf-en-Retz in the south. Superb panoramas are available along the Vélacé cycle route. The route oscillates between the seafront and the hinterland over 140 km from Saint-Nazaire to Piriac-Sur-Mer. It allows you to discover the unique landscapes and historical heritage of the Loire-Atlantique coastline.

Very cheap, cute and a bit in the middle of nowhere. :)

Today we continued from Saint- Brevin-les- Pins to Barbatre on the island of Noirmoutier. We went a lot along the beautiful Atlantic coast, but also through small villages, meadows and fields. The views on the coast were fantastic. We drove to the island via the tidal road, which logically can only be driven on at low tide.
