Pornic

The landscape around Pornic is a low, indented Atlantic coastline on the Bay of Bourgneuf, which has shaped both the urban form and local economy. The town spreads around a sheltered inlet, where the old harbour remains central to daily life and leisure. Above it stands the medieval Château de Pornic, a defining landmark overlooking the waterfront. Part of the Côte de Jade in Loire-Atlantique, Pornic developed from a fishing port into a seaside resort during the 19th century, while retaining its compact historic core.
