Presentation

This cycle route, number 64, takes you on a journey through the history of the coastline and the earliest seaside holidays 🚴‍♀️
A lovely mix of heritage, the simple pleasures of the sea and rural scenery, where every turn of the pedals feels like a holiday.
Starting from the tourist information centre in La Plaine-sur-Mer or the one in Tharon-Plage, Saint-Michel-Chef-Chef, this cycling getaway invites you to explore an area where the coastline and the countryside blend harmoniously.
Suitable for everyone, this family-friendly circular walk takes you on a journey through the history of the first seaside holidays, as you discover the seaside heritage that gives the Jade Coast its unique charm 🌿
As you walk along the coast, admire the elegant, characterful villas – a testament to the rise of sea bathing – as well as the famous stilted fishing huts that dot the coastline.
The fine sandy beaches, coves and panoramic views of the Atlantic offer a succession of landscapes perfect for contemplation and taking a break with your feet in the sand 🌊🏖️
The route then heads away from the coast into a more secluded hinterland.
Amidst country lanes, quiet country roads and wooded countryside, discover unspoilt nature where tranquillity and authenticity reign.
This alternation between the sea horizon and lush countryside reveals the full diversity of the landscapes in the Pornic region 🌾
Throughout the route, let yourself be swept away by this holiday atmosphere where heritage, nature and the good life come together.
Whether with family or friends, this getaway is a wonderful invitation to explore La Plaine-sur-Mer and Saint-Michel-Chef-Chef in a different way, at the pace of cycling and the sea spray 💚
