What a town! Sand beach, pebble beach, fishing, rugged coastal line and coves… plus extraordinary wind (yes, surf is possible and no crocs / sharks). Probably not known outside of France, but it is a pretty popular summer vacation town near Pornic, Loire-Atlantique.

Summer coastline

In winter it was so dead; like walking dead amount of human (check my winter post). It was hard to imagine this place being so lively!

Visit the market place with me. The above video is under 2min. Watch to discover my favourite French treat 😉coast-préfailles-france-.JPGThe full coastal walk is 5km. Mega windy… as demo by my hair. It felt a lot longer than 5km because of the serious resistance. The weather changed like 3-4 times a day as well. Rainproof and windproof jacket is a must.

During low tides, one can walk through the “gate”. Refer to the featured photo.

If you still want to see more of the coastline, watch the below video 😉 It’s under 3min.

I didn’t see much hotels around the area. Looks like a bunch of summer homes to me. Better chance with Airbnb for finding accommodation.

 

Where was I?

Préfailles, Loire-Atlantique

How to get there?

Driving. There’s no train heading this way. Closest train station is Pornic.

Pointe St Gildas. Amazing blue sky and this horrid gray sky all happened in the same day… within 3 hours.
