    The Sentier des Douanier is a fabulous walk providing beautify scenery. It is an easy walk but you do need comfortable shoes. Along the way you can see the fishermen's huts which are, for the most part, no longer used, but are part of the national heritage. Along the path towards Pornic from the beach La Source you will not find any cafes to take a break but Pornic is only 45 minutes away at a very gently place. Not only is there the pathway, but there is also a special cycling lane and pedestrian lane on the small one-way street which is speed-limited for cars. Cycles etc are not permitted on the foot path.

    Apparently there are organized/guided tours if you so wish to choose one, but it is relatively easy to just walk the length you wish to and then go back to your starting point instead of doing the full 11 km circuit. You get great views of L'ile de Noirmoutier.

    I almost hate to review this gem because I would love to keep it a secret. Great beach with awesome rocks that become submerged at high tide. The water is warmer than above the Loire and it is easy to swim in and out regardless of the water level. Protected by the Ile de Nourmoutier from big waves.

    First we went to Quai du commandant l'Herminier in Pornic and enjoyed watching the beautiful boats. Then went to l' Anse aux Lapins and then walked to the Pêcherie de la Birochère. We returned to Noirmoutier island by crossing the sea at Le passage du Gois. You have to make sure of the tidal timetable so you don't get stuck in the middle of the ocean! It was a lovely trip and I encourage anyone to do this. Walk by the ocean within nature and enjoy the beautiful scenery of the coast line.

    Just behind the tourism office and therefore easy to find, this is a very pleasant stroll alongside water. Lots of lovely plants growing by or in the water, and lots of koi carp. Many benches to sit and watch the world go by and just take in the tranquillity.

    While it is well signposted as to wher it is, moecould be made of the history by giving the synopsis in say German and English as well as French. We felt it was a bit understated.which was a pity as it was well preserved.

    This is listed as an adventure park - that is only a small part of its attraction. it is truly a beautiful amenity in the interior of Pornic. Fabulous 2 km easy walk for anyone around an artificial lake. interesting wildlife, great scenery and photography opportunities, fishing (permit required), running tracks, endless walks into woodlands. Quiet and relaxing, bring a picnic. directions; continue the path from Parc de la Ria under the main road via pontoon, turn next left. It's a fabulous walk for all ages and abilities.

    A pleasure port with a large difference between ebb and flood. Some interesting buildings along the quays, but no explanation anywhere.
