la Baule

La Baule and its gastronomy

The terroirs of Pays de la Loire provide high-quality produce that is not lost on fine cooks. And it's holidaymakers who benefit from this situation! They can enjoy a wide variety of recipes for lunch and dinner. For starters, there are oysters from Brittany (Bretagne), crab accras with herbs and guacamole, and wild turbot from Yeu Island (Ile d'Yeu). You're also likely to choose a Back of sea bass roasted on its skin, Sole meunière from Le Croisic or Moule de bouchot from the Pays de la Loire region, very popular on the peninsula of Guérande. Restaurant menus feature succulent dishes such as braised veal kidney, roast guinea fowl, beef tartare au couteau and La Bardatatte, a delicious game speciality. The people of Loire-Atlantique also love other culinary specialities such as shad stuffed with sorrel and sea bass in a salt crust, emblematic of the maritime region. Desserts are few and far between, but it's hard to resist the flavours of Tourton, a preparation halfway between bread and brioche. Le Billot, Le Carpe Diem, 14 Avenue or L'Auberge Gourmande: all these establishments promise great culinary discoveries!

La Baule Escoublac also attracts visitors thanks to the diversity of its water sports activities. Towed buoys, wake boards, water skiing or jet skis: you're spoilt for choice when it comes to having fun with family and friends. Finally, hiking enthusiasts can take the Mottes or Petite Marchande trails to explore every nook and cranny of this unspoilt environment.
