Located in the heart of the picturesque town of Pornic, Place du Môle is an eloquent testimony to the region's rich and colorful history. Its name, “Môle”, dates back to the Middle Ages, a time when the town was a bustling port. The term "Mole" was then used to designate a structure protecting the port against the hazards of the sea.

The ideal place to admire the entrance to the Ria (river valley flooded by the sea), the port of Gourmalon and, in the background, the masts of the ships moored at the marina.
