Coastal Architecture
La Baule Tourist Office offers you the chance to explore the city's architectural heritage on bike, a ride lasting 2 hours. Depending on the style you choose, you can learn more about the regional style villas (Breton), built in the Belle Epoque, Art Deco and contemporary artstyles. To take part, you just have to make the booking through the tourist office, where the price is 6 euros per person. I did the tour of Art Deco, in the area of La Baule-les-Pins, where I saw the architectural work of Adrian Grave. This well known architect built throughout the nineteenth century, private villas in this area, and the former resort of La Baule Les Pins, which remains a busy place today.
The house that I liked the most was inspired by ships, from where it takes its windows shaped like portholes, a bow to the front and marine colors. Many of these homes are classified as "exceptional" heritage in the city, making it an attraction that no one should miss!
