Located in the region of France known as ‘Les Pays de la Loire’, between the Guérande Peninsula and the town of Nantes, historical capital of Brittany, lies the town of Saint-Nazaire just waiting to be discovered with its coastline punctuated by over 20 beaches. These include ‘La Plage de M. Hulot’ immortalized my Jacques Tati’s famous film ‘les Vacances de M Hulot’.
Its maritime port, ‘Le Port Atlantique Nantes Saint-Nazaire’, is the largest along the French Atlantic coast.
All you have to do is take a stroll down the Commander Charcot Avenue to see the Friendly Market of Saint Marc sur Mer every Sunday Morning from 8:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. and Thursdays. So you can enjoy local produce, relax on the terraces of cafes and ending with a breathtaking view of the beach of Mr Hulot.
Are you ready for a transatlantic voyage, aboard a legendary ship ... as if you were there back in the day? Hop aboard !
