La Baule-Escoublac

La Baule-Escoublac straddles the transition from Baie de La Baule to the Escoublac dunes in Pays de la Loire, a position that fostered its growth as an Atlantic seaside resort. The bay opens onto the Atlantic Ocean, and its long sandy shore continues towards the neighbouring towns of Pornichet and Le Pouliguen. Inland, the pine-covered Forêt d’Escoublac forms a contrast with the beachfront, while Belle Époque and early-20th-century villas reflect the resort’s formative years. Each spring, the Longines International Jumping La Baule brings leading riders to the town. See how La Baule-Escoublac connects with the Atlantic coast by browsing webcams nearby.
