About

This short loop in Le Croisic goes from sea spray to former vineyards. This part of the peninsula was once home to the westernmost salt marshes of the Guérande area, of which a few traces remain. Some plots also bore vines, producing a modest wine. With granite as a common thread, little paths lined with low stone walls reveal another side of Le Croisic. The Océarium and a marine farm can be visited along the route. The loop is 3.8 km long; allow about 2 h 10 of walking. The stated level is easy. Start: the point marked on the map, in Le Croisic. The waymarking is yellow. The official route, published by the Loire-Atlantique département, is shown on the map and can be downloaded as a GPX file to follow on your phone.
