Destination Pornic in spring

Spring returns to Destination Pornic

• stretches of blueberries in meadows and undergrowth
• first feet in the water ;-) 
• the colour of the old wooden hulls in the old port of Pornic. A date not to be missed! 
• the first outdoor aperitifs aboard the Fleur des Ondes or on the beach, facing the ocean. 

Destination Pornic, a paradise for nature lovers

• Pornic's Golf. Whether you're a beginner, an experienced golfer or an occasional golfer, you'll love the wooded areas with century-old trees and the wide, Scottish-style spaces that the golf course has to offer. And if you'd like to find out more about the site, don't hesitate to try out your swing on one of the introductory days or follow the guide on one of the ‘Meet our Enthusiasts’ tours.
• the enchanted islands at Chéméré, a magnificent Renaissance garden in the heart of the Princé forest. 
• Pornic Aventure : an opportunity to leap from tree to tree like Tarzan, to awaken your senses in the heart of a magnificent forest acrobatic course. 
• The banks of the Acheneau at Port-Saint-Père. A landscape to discover on a kayak trip with Escapade Nature !

A rich heritage to discover

• the colour of flour and the gourmet bread workshops offered by La Petite Maison dans la Prairie. 
• the sails of the Corsaires de Retz, which is back on the water again.
• the baby storks that can be seen at Vue from April to June. It's a great opportunity to go for a walk, sit back with binoculars and contemplate the wonders of Mother Nature.

• the gorse moor at Préfailles, the largest in the Loire-Atlantique region. Yes, spring is undoubtedly the season when you can admire it in all its flowering splendour. Just imagine this vast expanse of bright yellow along the Douaniers path. Whether the weather is fine or the sky is all grey, the gorse heath will brighten up your coastal walks... a magnificent sight that won't leave you indifferent.
• the sun, which gives us beautiful days and declines later, for the pleasure of long evenings!

A gourmet spring at Destination Pornic

• a sunset picnic on the beach! The golden-red sand is so typical of our region 🥰

Festive events and entertainment

 And we're thinking of rainbow colours like...

• the confetti that flies during the Spring Carnival in Pornic
• the flowers and plants that decorate the Jardin des Lakas in La Plaine-sur-Mer on Plant Festival day
• the flowering paths and vegetable patches in the garden at Eco-Domaine la Fontaine, a real treat for the senses.

 The colour red comes to mind for...

• The first strawberries from the Fraiseraie of Pornic. The pleasure of getting up early, taking a little basket, going to their strawberry market, discovering different varieties... and thinking of a recipe to enjoy them :-) It's the most eagerly awaited and sweetest moment to share with the whole family from May onwards. See you on Wednesday and Saturday mornings!
• The first strawberry-vanilla ice creams enjoyed at the foot of the Château de Pornic, facing the beach at Tharon or in the heart of nature at the farm Les Délices de l'Air Marin in Moutiers en Retz. Don't forget our local custom: take a selfie of your ice cream and share it with the #destinationpornic... in our region, it's the star of all selfies!
• The flamboyant sunset over Les Salines de Millac in the heart of our marshes!
