Where to Next?thinking

Le Pouliguen. I remember IB telling me they had children’s rides and lots of restaurants near the oceanhappy. Let’s see what I can find out about its history.thinking

The present territory of Pouliguen was originally attached to the parish and town of Batz-sur-Mer. An independent parish was established in Pouliguen in 1820.

Le Pouliguen is a seaside resort on the Côte d’Amour famous for its fishing port and marina. Le Pouliguen owes its development to the transportation of salt produced in the salt marshes of Guérande. The salt is exported to Spain, England, and Scandinavia. It is the main activity of the port. IB told me to visit Guérande and its medieval festival. Maybe next week we can visit there.

Salt Trade

Le Pouliguen prosperity started in the Middle Ages due to its salt trade. They built quays which allowed ships that needed bigger draughts to enter their port. They were wise.

Due to the high taxes on Breton salt, the competition of the Mediterranean salt and the European conflicts, the international trade started to decline at the beginning of the 18th century.

Need to expand!

In the 19th century the wise people of Le Pouliguen found seaside tourism. They discovered that sea bathing had healing properties. Le Pouliguen became a family seaside resort, helped by the arrival of the train in 1879.

Batz-sur-Mer

The town lies between the Bay of Biscay and its salt marshes and is a very Breton town of whitewashed granite houses.  The town was founded in 945.  It was part of the Duchy of Brittany. It was part of Brittany until 1957. Breton was spoken until the early 20th century.

They have fully restored their coastal walking route (Sentier des Douaniers). This is the route that was used by the Customs officials.  In French, they are called douaniers. You can walk from Le Pouliguen  to Le Croisic along the waters edge. It would be a very long walk rolling eyes if you went the whole way.  You can visit the museum of The Big Blockhouse. It is a renovated bunker that was used during World War II to defend the Port of St. Nazaire.

I prefer Le Pouliguen and the children’s rides!big grin
