Conche de Saint-Georges

The Conche de Saint-Georges is a broad sandy beach along the French Atlantic coast that stretches for several kilometers with fine golden sand and calm waters. The beach is well-equipped with facilities for water sports enthusiasts and swimmers.

The beach formed through natural geological processes that shaped the coastline over millions of years. Human settlement began in the 19th century when the area was discovered as a seaside resort.

The northern part of the beach is lined with Belle Époque villas and seaside houses that show how wealthy Parisians spent their summers here. This architecture shapes the character of the place today and tells of a time when coastal holidays became fashionable for the rich.

The water here is shallow and calm, making it safe for swimmers of all abilities. Visitors will find parking, changing rooms, and several cafes near the beach.

Beneath the surface at the location called La Tache, a stream flows through an underground channel toward the sea. This hidden water system shows the interesting geology of the place that normally remains invisible to visitors.
