Camping La Fontaine

As you'll see when you get there, there's stacks to do around Camping La Fontaine, whether your tastes tend towards the watery, the historic or just gawping at the local landscape: this is the place where we recommend you now look for the marshes of Guerande snapshot among the site pics… More watery and snapworthy land is all around the nearby Brière Regional Nature Park, 40,000 hectares' worth of marshland, reed beds, canals, islands and wetland meadows. Take a boat trip to explore it at a properly leisurely pace, or bike your way up to the bell tower of Saint-Lyphard church for yet more snapworthy views of the marsh and its surrounds. This is all very much a peaceful place, but to get even more into serene surrounds, take another boat trip or two around the islands of Houat and Hoëdic to the northeast of beaut Belle-Île, for Houat's beaches and paths, and the coves, fort and Neolithic sites of Hoëdic. Gorgeous Guerande is one of France's Towns and Regions of Art and History and is best known for its medieval walls, among the best preserved in the country. We'd also recommend a wander around the harbour town of Croisic, for tucking into meals on said terrace and then seeing the critters at the Océarium; and day trips to Saint-Nazaire (20km) and to Sarzeau or Vannes (70km).
