A walk in Pornic

A nice walk to discover all the charms of Pornic

The walk begins at the port of Pornic in the center of the city then we continue by making the tour of the roadstead, the coast is much prettier and wilder by heading to the beach of the Source on the other side of the castle. The stroll is very pleasant but the distances are important because it is necessary to go to the end of the roadstead to change bank. You can also go directly to the beach of the Source by car to walk along the coastal path. Do not hesitate to visit the Pornic it is worth a look!
