Get back in shape gently in Pornic this winter

Why not enjoy a lovely walk on the beach at the foot of the fishing huts or along the coastal path that runs along the seafront?

Vast, unspoiled landscapes and exceptional sites like the Collet Dunes, Pointe Saint-Gildas, and the Lyarne Marsh will guarantee a complete change of scenery. Inland, you can appreciate unspoiled nature and stroll along the Haute Perche Canal or the Acheneau River, or gather pine cones at Bois Roy to make your own Christmas decorations. Coastal walking, or longe-côte, gently works all parts of the body. The fast-paced walking sequences, which work the arms and legs, alternate with abdominal exercises, core strengthening, and sports games, along with walks and leisurely strolls, allow you to get back in shape safely. Those who want to relax and get back in shape effortlessly can enjoy the benefits of working out in the water and the pleasure of being in the sea, facing the golden rocks of La Bernerie-en-Retz or the beautiful coastline of Tharon at the foot of the fishing weirs. For cycling enthusiasts, the Vélodyssée or the Vélocéan routes will allow you to discover beautiful coastal landscapes where vast beaches give way to small coves of reddish sand bordered by salt marshes and dunes. Remember to put on a warm coat, gloves, and a hat before venturing out to enjoy the ocean view, the peace and quiet, and the sunshine. Discover the region's products and cuisine. After braving the cold, there's nothing better than warming up with a cup of tea or hot chocolate and some pastries, while enjoying the ocean view that will stay with you throughout your stay. For meals, oysters, whelks, periwinkles, shrimp, or scallops will give you a boost of energy. These healthy products are rich in micronutrients such as copper, selenium, fluorine, phosphorus, iron, and zinc, and in minerals such as iodine, magnesium, sodium, and calcium. For holiday gifts, or even for your Christmas or New Year's meal, visit local producers to discover new flavors and quality products. Furthermore, eating locally supports short supply chains and values the expertise of artisans who enhance the region's natural and cultural heritage.
