La Baule
Just west of Nantes, La Baule is Brittany's most fashionable and
expensive holiday resort. Like most Breton seaside towns, it was
the Victorians that first flocked here to play and promenade in the
balmy air. Today La Baule is favoured by the French rather than
foreigners, a popular holiday destination for the Parisian
upper-middle-class when they need to unwind. La Baule's inviting
five mile (8km) stretch of white sandy beach provides the perfect
place to acquire a summer tan and show off designer beachwear while
frolicking in waters warmed by the Gulf Stream. The town itself
provides the other holiday necessities: a casino, plenty of shops
and boutiques, and some excellent bars and restaurants.
