Comments

Busy airfield for GA up to PC-12 level but mostly SEP seen during visit.
Lots of parking space (20+), very well organized airfield.
La Baule has a very long beach (9+km) with street running the length and then row of hotels and residences. Good beach for water sports and walking at low tide.
Pouliguen town has many tourist shops (food, souvenirs, clothing) along the estuary promenade but is quiet immediately behind. Plage du Nau on the Pouliguen side of the estuary is smaller and "more relaxed".
