Camping Les Ajoncs d'Or

The fine sands of the nine-kilometre La Baule beach are less than two kilometres from the site, the same distance as the restaurants, shops, bars and casino of La Baule-Escoublac's town centre. Those into history have heaps to pick from, like the Breton fishing village of Pornichet five kilometres away; the walled city of Guérande, seven kilometres from the site, and the spectacular old sites of Nantes, about an hour and a quarter to the east. La Baule is edged by the landscapes and wetlands of the Brière Regional Natural Park, a top Pays de la Loire place for birdwatching. You could also explore the park's Grande Brière Mottière marsh and its canals, reed beds, wetland meadows, peat bogs and islands by boat, or take in the vista from the bell tower of Saint-Lyphard church.
