Southern Brittany France (South Bretagne) - Loire Atlantique (Holiday Travel Guide)

More at (Holiday Travel Guide)
Once you reach the Loire-Altantique department, you know you have arrived in Southern Brittany in France (south Bretagne - Breizh). This is a land much flatter than the rest of Brittany, a land of rivers & canals with a Nature Regional Park in Grande Briere, a coastline of beautiful beaches with the glamorous seaside resort of La Baule and his dominant city, Nantes, Brittany's former capital.
Small seaside resorts worth a visit include Le Croisic, Piriac-sur-mer, Saint Brévin and Pornic without forgetting the stunning medieval city of Guérande with its salt mashes.

Places to see in ( La Baule Escoublac - France )

La Baule-Escoublac, commonly referred to as La Baule, is a commune in the Loire-Atlantique department in western France.
A century-old seaside resort in southern Brittany with beautiful villas, casino, luxury hotels and an original mix of old Breton and exclusive seaside culture with a 12 kilometer-long sand beach, La Baule has long been home to French high society's seaside residences. During July and August each year, the population of La Baule increases dramatically with many Parisians staying for weeks and regular day-trippers from Nantes. Parisians can take the train in Paris Montparnasse Station and it is about 3 hours to go to La Baule. Despite this, La Baule is still virtually unknown outside France.

In 1779, a violent storm buried the village of Escoublac, near the current location of La Baule, under sand. Escoublac was rebuilt further inland. At that time, the very unstable dunes were occupied only by customs officers, who gave them the name of Bôle, a term indicating an easily flooded maritime meadow. It was only in 1879, when the Saint-Nazaire-Croisic railroad was conceived by Parisian industrialist Jules-Joseph Hennecart that the tourist potential of the coast was recognised.

In 1918, casino business magnate François André (see Groupe Lucien Barrière) set up the redesigning of the La Baule resort based on the Deauville model by combining casinos, luxury hotels and sports facilities all on one site. In the 1920s, Parisian businessman Louis Lajarrige designed the very successful Bois d'Amour district at La Baule-les-Pins and formed an agreement with the railroad company to move the rails away from the seaside to ensure a direct access to the beach. On July 27, 1927 the new stations of La Baule-les-Pins and La Baule-Escoublac (see picture) were inaugurated while the old station was torn down to create a flower garden square. By that time, La Baule has become a very fashionable seaside resort.

During World War II La Baule formed part of the protective stretch of coast leading to the nearby harbour city of Saint-Nazaire, home of one of the biggest U-Boat stations the Germans ever built. It not only serviced the German submarine fleet, but was also the only dry dock on the Atlantic capable of housing the German battleship Tirpitz, one of two Bismarck-class ships built for the German Kriegsmarine during World War II.

One of France's most exclusive seaside resorts during the first half of the 20th century, La Baule has become much more democratized since the 1960s. Today the resort mixes wealthy family villas, luxury hotels and seaside apartment buildings, creating an original and unique atmosphere of social diversity. The nearby region has long been an area of contact and conflict between Breton culture and that of the neighbouring Loire valley, and consequently is rich with historic places, castles (Nantes castle), walled cities (Guerande), not to mention 19th century seaside resorts, such as Quiberon, and many typical Breton fishing villages (Le Croisic, Pornichet).

The Grand Prix de la Baule was a Grand Prix motor racing event held here during the 1930s. Today, the Grand Prix de la Ville de La Baule is a prestigious equestrian show jumping competition that is part of the international Equestrian Nations Cup series. Local tourist authorities routinely refer to the bay as the most beautiful in Europe. Furthermore, La Baule is part of the Côte d'Amour, which features beautiful cliffs and amazing views of the Atlantic Ocean. The commune of Escoublac has achieved a new vitality with the restoration of its civic center and the installation of many attractions.

Places to see in ( Aigues Mortes - France ) Salin d'Aigues Mortes

Places to see in ( Aigues Mortes - France ) Salin d'Aigues Mortes

The Salins d'Aigues-Mortes is one of the 6 establishments of the company Salins du Midi, and the historic headquarters of this company. Located in the town of Aigues-Mortes , in the Camargue , in the Gard department , the salt marshes cover a large part of the Peccais marshes , to the south-east of the fortified village. They are accessible by the departmental road 46, southeast of Aigues-Mortes.

The exploitation of salt in Aigues-Mortes is an economic activity that goes back to ancient times . The first saline activity is attributed to a Roman engineer, Peccius , who left his name to the marsh of Peccais . During the Middle Ages , while the village of Aigues-Mortes is strongly influenced by the nearby Psalmodie Abbey , the economy is mainly focused on fishing and salt. During the reign of Louis IX , while the abbey passes under its domination, part of the marshes are sanitized, to facilitate the activity and trade of the region. Local development is continued under the reign ofPhilip III, said the Bold and Philip IV the Fair said , and sees the creation of the ramparts of Aigues-Mortes.

It is in 1856 that the Salins of Aigues-Mortes are constituted by company, by the regrouping of the owners, to become the company Renouard et Cie . In 1868 , the company changed its name. Compagnie des Salins du Midi then set up its headquarters in Montpellier. Salinas have been included in the general inventory of cultural heritage since 22 December 1995 , both for the production site and for administrative and housing buildings.

Aigues-Mortes saline production is a classic sea salt production, located along the Mediterranean coast, on a totally flat soil. The maximum activity is in summer, in order to benefit from optimal sunshine, for evaporation of water and crystallization of salt under the combined action of sun and wind. The operation of the salt is done, in stages, in five types of consecutive basins, interconnected by a circulation of water. The first basins, the parts , collect pumped seawater (salinity rate of about 38 g per liter) . The basins are, indeed, located a few meters above sea level, and the absence of important tides in the Mediterranean forces the use of pumps. The water then flows from basins to basins, its salinity increasing as and when. This circuit, with a length of several kilometers, causing the brine water to the basins reserve.

The salt tables (or crystallizers) , last basins, allowing the harvest of salt, are less deep than the previous ones. The salinity level then reaches 260 g of salt per liter of water. This is the most striking part of the production: on the one hand, by the color of the basins, due to the presence of microscopic algae in the water, Dunaliella salina ; on the other hand the mode of salt extraction. Once the water is drained, a layer of 8 to 15 centimeters of salt, the salt cake covers the bottom of the basins. Formerly harvested manually, by the salt workers (or salt workers )salt is collected mechanically by crawler tractors with shovels in the front. The salt thus harvested is stored in the form of mounds of 10 to 15 meters , the camels.
