Map Pornic

We head to Pornic straight from the airport. This small town on the mouth of the Loire is the entrance to Brittany.

It’s a seaside resort, whose centre clusters around the old harbour, where a great number of sailing boats and trawlers are moored.
If you walk along the promenade, you’ll reach the well-kept 13th century castle; from there, a panoramic path takes you to the new marina of La Noëveillard.

Pornic (City on the Loire River in France) doesn’t lack either cafés or restaurants – which is ideal if we want to spend our first night at Pornic; but let’s visit the village of Kerhinet first, a 45- minute drive away.

The historic village of Kerhinet It’s a nice, picturesque historic village, extensively refurbished in recent years, with thatched-roofed houses.

The village has been acquired by the Parc Naturel Régional de la Brière, of which it hosts “La Maison du Parc” a rather convenient starting point for a visit entirely on foot (both of the village itself and the park). Some shops on the spot.
