Camping le Patisseau

Alan Rogers Review

Just a short drive from the fishing village of Pornic, le Patisseau is a relaxed site with a large number of mobile homes and chalets, and is popular with young families and teenagers. The 67 touring pitches, all with electrical connections (10A), are in the forest with plenty of shade from mature trees. Some are on a slight slope and access to others might be tricky for larger units. A railway runs along the bottom half of the site with trains several times a day (but not overnight) and the noise is minimal.

The owners and their team work very hard to maintain a friendly atmosphere. The site’s spacious restaurant and bar overlook the indoor pool. Outside two waterslides are cleverly concealed amongst the trees. A number of communal barbecues are provided throughout the site, helping to create a sociable atmosphere. Pornic is an attractive and lively village with a busy marina and a factory shop selling Breton pottery and souvenirs. To the south, across the bay, is the Ile de Noirmoutier and northwards across the Saint Nazaire bridge are fashionable La Baule and the historic medieval town of Guérande and its nearby salt marshes.
