Saint-Brevin-les-Pins, between the Loire and the ocean
Situated at the mouth of the Loire, opposite Saint-Nazaire, Saint-Brevin-les-Pins is a charming seaside resort and the finish line of the great Loire à Vélo bicycle trail. It is also a stage on the Vélodyssée, another major cycle trail linking Brittany to the Basque Country via the Atlantic coast.
Its villas are adorned with wonderful gardens and its beaches of fine sand, bordered by pines, stretch out along the ocean for eight kilometres. The ocean itself offers several points of interest, with adorable little fisheries on stilts and an enormous sea serpent, a work of art belonging to the Estuaire Nantes-Saint-Nazaire trail.
This is an ideal spot for hikers, swimmers and anyone who loves nautical sports such as sand-yachting or kite-surfing.
Don't miss out on a stroll in the Forest of Pierre Attelée, the only dune forest in the Loire-Atlantique region.This magnificent location stretches out over 41 hectares behind the beach. Formed principally of maritime pines and green oaks, this protected site is especially pleasant in summer thanks to its constantly cool temperature.
