A country tells its story through its detours

An episode from the series 100 PLACES TO SEE

Synopsis

Born from the dream of sea bathing, La Baule was one of the jewels of resort life at the turn of the century. Its Art Nouveau villas, striped cabins, and long promenades shaped the elegance of a coastline that came to embody freedom and refinement.

From Pornichet to the salt marshes of Guérande, this episode retraces the story of a shoreline marked by the indelible imprint of the Belle Époque, with its light-filled scenery, architecture, and eternal memories.
