Activities to do in Loire-Atlantique
On holiday in Loire Atlantique? Don't miss out on these must-do activities in the region! Nature lovers in particular will marvel at the diversity of landscapes and activities linked to the region's flora and fauna.
Foot fishing in the Loire Atlantique
A region renowned for its marine activities, many people from the Loire enjoy one of the most popular activities: fishing on foot! Our Les Brillas campsite, ideally located 1200m from the sea, is the perfect starting point for this activity. Shrimps, oysters and other shellfish are within easy reach on the beaches and between the rocks. It's a great idea for a family outing to enjoy nature and the countryside, learn more about these little creatures and, why not, make your own meal for the day (in compliance with the rules governing fishing on foot, of course!).
Planète Sauvage
Just 30 minutes from the campsite, treat yourself to a complete change of scenery and find yourself in the middle of the bush. In your car, drive among the most exotic animals on the planet.
