  • Nature hikes

I told you about the green countryside, hikes are definitely in the news! On foot or by bike, it's up to you but in any case your dog will have something to stretch its legs!

I start with the Carene circuit, great for walking around Pornichet and discovering the towns of Brières and Saint-Nazaire with your dog. Be careful, this is not a short walk: 170km of bike routes, this circuit is part of the “long-distance hikes”. You can of course do it in small sections.

For a more accessible walk in the Pornichet bocage, the 7,8km circuit The Coteaux d’Ermur you will discover many hamlets.

What if we had a change of scenery? THE beach and bocage circuit combines the assets of Pornichet: nature and the ocean. A great 15km hike to do with your dog! THE coastal path also offers sublime landscapes! Coves, cliffs, sandy beaches, prepare your camera for your best memories with your dog! 

  • Walk and heritage

The circuits in the city center of Pornichet and Sainte-Marguerite allow you to walk with your dog while cultivating yourself. I told you, Pornichet benefits from a rich heritage, the city center circuit will take you to the Château des Tourelles as well as various villas formerly inhabited by illustrious owners. I will cite a few of them: Villa Sigurd built by an opera singer, Villa Ker Souveraine and Villa L'Orientale with its architecture from elsewhere.

Be sure to keep your little one on a leash during these tours. Likewise, pick up their droppings. Please note that the town of Pornichet has several waste bag distributors to help you out if you don't have one in your pocket. 

  • Beaches

I know it, it's a bit like THE question you're asking yourself: are the beaches of Pornichet allowed for dogs? Well the answer is YES!

The Libraires, Bonne Source and Sainte-Marguerite beaches are allowed for dogs on a leash from September 15 to June 15. Please note that dogs are also allowed on the coastal path all year round, on a leash!

  • The Little Train
