Built in the 14th century and rebuilt in the 19th century, the Château de la Bretesche stands out for its privileged location on the water's edge. Seeing it suddenly appear as you cycle along the D2 is a splendid sight.

The castle is privately owned. It can be visited as part of the Tourist Office's guided tours and also during the season with guided tours organized by the castle owner.

Beautiful ruin. You can see the old moat, chimneys, towers, as well as the loopholes for archers or cannons.

My favorite route around Pornic starting from Tharon Plage along paths in the middle of nature, secure cycle paths, the pleasant side of the very rolling Vélocéan, to recommend.

Former residence of the Barons of La Roche Bernard and center of Protestantism. The castle impresses with its romantic and fairytale side. Only the courtyard is open to the public (the interior of the castle is not accessible).

You can also take beautiful photos of the castle from the opposite bank on the ledge.

Pornic is a varied, small port town with a variety of interesting sights, small cafes and restaurants. There are 2 fish shops that are open in the morning.

In the middle of this tangle of branches, brambles, appear mounds of earth, scattered stones, sections of walls, the only witnesses of the distant presence in this place of a fortress. The castle of Lorieux ("loc-rieux", the place of the Rieux, noble family), was built at the same time as the large surrounding fortresses, on the orders of Alain the Great, king of Brittany, in order to protect his kingdom from the Norman invasions. Around 1130, the castle became the residence of the Viscounts of Donges, but during the Wars of Religion, the troops of the Duke of Mercoeur attacked the castle. Later, in 1614, Richelieu decreed the disappearance of this fortress, considered a Huguenot lair. In 1618, the leveling order was carried out. Legends abound on these mysterious ruins. It is said that underground passages start from this fortress.
