La Baule-Escoublac, Coastal resort commune in Loire-Atlantique, France
La Baule-Escoublac extends along a 9-kilometer curved bay protected by maritime pine forests that stabilize the surrounding dunes on the Atlantic coast.
In 1779, severe storms forced the relocation of the original village inland from its coastal position due to sand dunes that completely covered the settlement.
The annual Grand Prix equestrian competition draws international riders and spectators, continuing a sporting tradition that began with automobile racing in the 1930s.
The commune connects to major French cities through TGV train service, with direct routes from Paris and regional connections from Nantes and Saint-Nazaire.
The commune maintains 400 hectares of maritime pine forest, forming a natural barrier that protects the coastline and residential areas from northern winds.

A very well-known and highly frequented seaside resort, especially by the people of Nantes who come here for the weekend! The beach is enormous and allows for a great enjoyment of the pleasures of the Ocean. Unfortunately, the waterfront is taken up by buildings while just behind are wonderful villas in the shade of...Pines!
