The destination

Bourgneuf-en-Retz: between the bay, the marshes and the beaches of the Côte de Jade

Bourgneuf-en-Retz, merged with Fresnay-en-Retz under the name Villeneuve-en-Retz, is a small town in the south of Loire-Atlantique, where the Pays de Retz meets the Breton marshes of the Vendée. People come for a quiet holiday ten minutes from the first beaches and fifteen from Pornic, away from the seafront crowds but with everything to hand: shops, bakeries and a market in town, a supermarket in Machecoul.

The Bay of Bourgneuf and its beaches

The Bay of Bourgneuf unrolls its family beaches from Les Moutiers-en-Retz to La Bernerie-en-Retz: fine sand, shallow water, shellfish gathering at low tide, small tidal harbours. To the east, the port of Le Collet and the oyster harbours of Bouin land the bay's oysters. Our article “Pornic, the Côte de Jade and the beaches of the Pays de Retz” goes through the beaches by tide and by children's age.

Pornic and the Côte de Jade

Fifteen minutes away, Pornic lines up its old harbour, its castle, the customs officers' coastal path, Noëveillard beach and the coves running out to Préfailles and the Pointe Saint-Gildas. Market on Thursday and Sunday mornings, a thalassotherapy centre, a casino, restaurants on the harbour: it is the natural evening outing from the house.

The Breton marshes and the Passage du Gois

Behind the bay, the Breton marshes are best explored by bike or by car: canals, thatched bourrines, birdlife, windmills. Half an hour away, the Passage du Gois links Noirmoutier to the mainland at low tide, a four-kilometre road that disappears under the sea twice a day. Noirmoutier, its beaches and the Bois de la Chaise are then within reach.

Around Bourgneuf-en-Retz

Machecoul and its market, the Planète Sauvage safari park at Port-Saint-Père, Saint-Brevin and the Saint-Nazaire bridge, Nantes in three quarters of an hour for a day in the city. La Maison du Bonheur is also a good base for a stage on the Vélodyssée or Loire à Vélo cycle routes.

Getting to Bourgneuf-en-Retz

Nantes is 45 minutes away by the D751 or D723, Saint-Nazaire about twenty minutes via the bridge. By train, take the TGV to Nantes then a regional train to Pornic or Machecoul; a car remains useful locally. Free parking for three cars at the house.
