A Loire Atlantique campsite, nestling in the pine forest, just a stone’s throw from the beach
Choose to spend your holiday on this 4-star campsite of the Loire Atlantique. It guarantees returning home with a head full of happy memories, as everything has been thought of, to make your stay as delightful as possible. You will, first and foremost, be surprised to discover a magnificent water complex with a swimming pool, a heated paddling pool, a balneotherapy bench and a sunbathing area. Your older children will already be at the top of the water slides, or ready to take the plunge on the various slide lanes. At the same time, the very young will have fun in the “Splashzone” supervised by lifeguards.
You, as much older children, can do a few lengths, sunbathe, read a book in the shade or have a drink at the pool bar. Unless, that is, you are tempted by a game of pétanque, a ping-pong match or a sports session in the gym.
You will then discover the multitude of activities on offer to children of all ages. Those aged 1 to 4 will play, dress up, do painting and use glitter at the Bubble’s Playroom, with you and the activity leaders.
The swimming pool or the sea...Why choose when you can have both!
The following day, you will be able to get your hire bike opposite reception and ride on a cycle track, which will lead you straight to the seaside! In a few minutes, you will find yourself opposite a magnificent panorama: the dunes of the fine sandy beach, bordered with pines and mimosas, opposite the Atlantic Ocean. Some 8 kilometres of fine sand, an invitation for “idleness” and for nautical activities. You won’t know where to look, so wide is the choice: sand yachting, stand-up paddle boarding, canoeing, surfing, water skiing and even kitesurfing and flyboarding.
A smile on your lips, you will go back to the campsite for dinner, with the choice of mussels and chips at the restaurant, or a takeaway pizza. Unless, that is, you were to cook one of your summer recipes in your fully equipped mobile home, and have dinner as a family on your covered terrace. For gourmets, a barbecue area is available on the campsite, to treat your taste buds with grills containing herbes de Provence (mixed herbs).
To end your day on a lovely note, go to the amphitheatre to attend a show put on by the activity team, or take part in themed evenings, cabaret, karaoke or to immortalize the children’s show.
Marvels and delights of the Loire Atlantique
Your stay on the Les Pierres Couchées campsite will be the chance to go out and explore the attractions of St Brévin les Pins, and the surrounding area. You will be able to hike and go bird watching at the Brière Natural Regional Park, or go horse riding on the beach by the Atlantic.
Some 20 minutes away from the campsite, you will discover La Baule and its legendary beach, the loveliest beach in Europe, its shopping streets and the famous “Niniches”, with salted butter caramel. Go to the Le Croisic “L’Océarium” and meet the sharks of Australia, the skate, tortoises, sea horses, and various penguins and others, which inhabit the 56 aquariums of the site. On the way, observe the shimmering colours of the Guérande salt marshes, and gather your supplies of the best quality unrefined salt for the coming year.
Alternatively, maybe you will go out to explore the charming seaside resort of Pornic, known for its old medieval town, and its castle overlooking the old port. Unless you decide to go to the bridge leading to the Noirmoutier peninsula, to discover the wild countryside, “the island of butterflies”, and fill up on the culinary treasures which have made its reputation.
You will also be able to visit the Saint Nazaire submarine base, explore the city of Nantes, have a game of mini-golf as a family, or work on your golf swing in Pornic. In brief, you will not get bored for a single second, and have wonderful memories of your stay in the Loire Atlantique!
