LE CROISIC

‘Petite Cité de Caractère’ that it certainly is!  It has character, charm and atmosphere.  According to the official description Le Croisic offers to its visitors the charm of its quaysides, its maritime heritage its authenticity and is truly photogenic with its half-timber houses ‘huddled’ around the church of Notre Dame de Pitié. The town has always been ‘a port in a storm’ and good place to be in better times.  This is the town to visit for you if you enjoy a stroll along its cobbled jetty your thoughts turned to the captains of the high seas, the fearless fishermen and fleet owners who together have made of this little town what it is today…somewhere between calm weather and the raging storm, between the quiet life and moments of bustling activity, between the summer and winter seasons.  At Le Croisic, whatever the season, there is always something to do and see…the changing intensity of the light, the deep rumbling of the ocean waves, an exhibition at the former fish auction hall, a festival, the wonders of the ocean at l’océarium, la côte sauvage, the customs officers’ path, the peninsula of Pen Bron.  A foretaste of Brittany itself, the richness of the preserved coastline, a destination to head for,  a home port…
