La Baule
La Baule is a very popular and quite upmarket seaside resort on the Atlantic coast.
The town was founded (at the end of the 19th century, when it gained a rail link) with the goal of being a seaside resort, so has little of historical interest, but is a nice place to promenade, look sophisticated and spend too much.
There are a few of the original 19th century villas that remain, a little bit hidden behind the more recent seafront development but worth taking the time to find.
The main attraction of the La Baule resort is its long sandy beach - very long at almost 8km - and with nice fine sand. All the seaside activities you would hope for are here, and the beach is gently sloping, so good for children.
The beach is backed by expensive hotels and attracts a sophisticated, wealthy crowd - almost as if it were a little piece of the Cote d'Azur transplanted. There are numerous restaurants etc.
La Baule is also a 'ville fleurie' and makes a good effort with its parks and gardens.
