At the far end of the estate, La Fontaine aux Bretons Beach is within walking distance.
Perfect for swimming in a wild setting, where you can relax for a moment on its golden sand. P.S.: It’s one of the 10 most beautiful beaches in Loire-Atlantique. You’ll also find two Blue Flag-certified beaches near the estate: La Birochère Beach in Pornic and La Grande Plage in La Bernerie-en-Retz. Stand-up paddleboards are available for rent at our front desk if you’d like to glide across the waves.
If you'd like to go further, you can rent kayaks from our partner: Kayak Nomade.
If you feel more comfortable on land than at sea, we offer bike rentals at our front desk.
If you’re a food lover and want to combine the joys of the sea with the pleasures of good food, check out the Echos Nature program, which offers shore fishing excursions, shrimp fishing, and seaweed-gathering workshops.
Want to experience the thrill of speed on the beach? Try sand yachting. It’s an activity to enjoy with family or friends at the sailing schools in La Bernerie en Retz or Saint-Brévin.
If you'd rather ride the waves, come take surf lessons on the Atlantic Ocean. Waves that are easy to master—perfect for beginners during the summer—but also bigger, more thrilling waves when the weather allows…
