Apart from its beaches, restaurants and water sports (Le Croisic was the first seaside resort to be created on the coast), this exceptional site offers a rich historical heritage. As you stroll through the narrow streets of the old town and along the quays, past the beautiful shipowners' houses that bear witness to past prosperity, you can easily imagine the life of this 17th century port city.^e The geography of the port was shaped by the salt trade.

Tours offered by the tourist office invite you to get off the beaten track and discover Le Croisic, the quality of its heritage and the beauty of its environment.
