La Turballe

La Turballe is a coastal commune along the Atlantic coast in Loire-Atlantique that stretches across several kilometers of shoreline. The town features a working fishing port and is defined by its location on the western French coast.

The commune developed from a small fishing settlement in the mid-19th century and took its current administrative form. Growth was tied directly to fishing, which became the economic foundation of the town.

The place is shaped by its deep connection to fishing and the sea, visible in daily activities around the harbor and local restaurants. People here value seafood and the stories of fishermen that define life in the community.

The town is easily reached by road and provides pharmacies, schools, and local markets for visitors and residents. The infrastructure offers convenient access to basic services and recreational facilities throughout the area.

The harbor processes large quantities of sardines and remains one of the primary centers for this fish in the region. This fishing industry shapes daily life and the local economy significantly.
