Le Croisic is a small town in the very south of Brittany at the mouth of the Loire. Nearest large town is La Baule and the nearest city is St Nazaire. Nantes is an hour away by train.

The town is a tourism centre due to it's five beaches, aquarium (the Ocearium) and numerous restaurants providing sea food and crepes. The harbour is home to many yachts and beyond the sheltered entrance is the Grand Traict which drys out at low tide. This inland sea is home to fruits de mer cultivation but you can also pick your own, as many local families do.

The best beach is Port Lin, 15 mins walk from town. For families, this provides an excellent mix of sand, sea, rocks and pools depending on how the tide is. There are life guards on duty in the high summer.

The town has two supermarkets and a cinema.

We spent whole week there summer 2010 having previously stayed in 2009.

You won't find amusement arcades, English pubs or night clubs, so nice and peaceful.

We travelled by train using Eurostar to Paris and then TGV direct from Paris Montparnasse to Le Croisic (3h11). There are some trains from Lille should you wish to avoid the Metro.
