Ideally situated in the heart of the Côte d'Amour in Guérande peninsula, Le Pouliguen reveals an authentic country to influence Bretonne, a city that has preserved its typical character and family.

From the 15th century, thanks to its étier, Le Pouliguen turns to a trade in salt and then to a fishing inshore and offshore. In the 19th century, the epic des Bains de Mer transformed it into the marina. Le Pouliguen then experienced a boom and quickly became a popular resort.

Le Pouliguen is a common destination of La Baule - Guerande Peninsula with: Assérac, Batz-sur-Mer, Guerande, La Baule, La Turballe, Le Croisic, Mesquer, Piriac-sur-Mer and Saint Pénestin Lyphard.
