Le Pouliguen, commune in Loire-Atlantique, France
Le Pouliguen is a seaside town on the Atlantic coast in the Pays de la Loire region, situated along the Bay of Guérande. The community features a working harbor alongside residential neighborhoods and sandy shores that line its waterfront.
The town developed as a fishing harbor and seaside resort during the 1800s, as coastal communities along the Breton coast attracted growing numbers of visitors. The harbor structure and urban layout established during this period remain central to the town's character today.
The town is accessible by car or train, with parking available near the harbor and beach areas. The best time to visit is from May to September, when the weather is warmer and sunnier and shops and activities are fully open.
The town sits on the western side of the Bay of Guérande and offers views of the region's famous salt marshes. This proximity to one of Europe's major salt production areas makes it a unique vantage point for observing traditional harvesting techniques and the landscape they shape.
