Advancing boldly into the Atlantic Ocean, the Le Croisic peninsula offers a resolutely Breton face. This small fishing port, labeled 'Petite Cité de Caractère' (Small City of Character), is an essential getaway from La Baule. With its half-timbered houses and incessant maritime activity, Le Croisic seduces with its preserved authenticity.
The beating heart of the port
Life in Le Croisic is punctuated by the tides and the return of fishing boats. Stroll along the quays to admire the colorful trawlers. The port is particularly renowned for pink shrimp, crab, and langoustine fishing. The old fish auction, a true nerve center, bears witness to this rich maritime history.
A preserved heritage
The charm of Le Croisic also lies in its narrow streets. Moving slightly away from the quays, you discover a rich architectural heritage: the Notre-Dame-de-Pitié church, the Kervaudu manor, or the Soleil Royal cannon.
