Cote d'Amour
The Cote d'Amour is the name given to the coast west of Nantes and just south of Guerande, that runs north of the Loire estuary from St Nazaire to le Croisic.
This coastline includes the Cote Sauvage, the most north-western stretch, which runs from le Croisic to le Pouliguen.
The coast offers several fine sandy beaches, along with rock sections and caves to explore.
La Baule, towards the southern end of the Cote d'Amour, has a long sandy beach backed by expensive hotels.
Moving west along the coast, the main towns are Pornichet (especially popular with children and young families), le Pouliguen, and le Croisic, with several attractive beaches en route.
Le Croisic is the most interesting of these towns, a still active fishing port at the end of the peninsula (although tourism has taken over as main earner for the town). The splendid villas in the town date from the days when Le Croisic was a worldwide supplier of salt.
Other noteworthy places along this stretch of coast include La Turballe, a busy port; and the villages of Batz-sur-mer and Piriac-sur-Mer.
