Discover fishing on foot in Pornic
Get on the road bright and early to make the most of your half-day. We're off in the direction of Pornic, one of the most popular destinations on the Atlantic coast. And on the programme today is a nature activity that's sure to win you over. <Fishing on foot...
Whether you're an enthusiast or a layman, you'll certainly not have the same requirements or the same equipment...
<In spite of everything, here's a short list of things not to forget:
- boots to get your feet in the water
- your fishing tools (landing net, oyster peeler, clam knife)
And above all, keep an eye on the tides, fishing on foot is done when the tide is out.
Beaches and enchanting landscapes
Head for the sumptuous Plage de la Fontaine and then on to Plage de la Boutinardière. Between these two stretches of fine sand and clear water, you'll find THE perfect spot to enjoy a spot of fishing. This little natural setting will guarantee you a bit of peace and quiet, as this activity is very popular in the summer and many tourists take advantage of it.
If you rake up the sand and pick up a few stones, you can be sure that your booty will be generous.
What are you going to catch, you might ask?
The delights of the ocean, yes, but which ones?
Bernacles, periwinkles, conger eels, green crabs, oysters and clams...
These treasures of the sea await you. Persevere in your quest and you'll be rewarded.
All that's left for you to do is to lay a pretty table and invite a few privileged guests to taste the seafood you've worked so hard to create.
And we're willing to bet that everyone will enjoy themselves in a most convivial atmosphere.
Don't forget to accompany these dishes with a good bottle of wine...
This is the Muscadet region, a dry white wine that goes very well with seafood. It's up to you...
In short, fishing on foot is a real treat! What more could you ask for!
And don't forget: you can also opt for the Pointe de Gourmalon beach. This is a little further north. You'll find it as you head up the coast towards Pornic town centre. It's a great spot that's well worth a visit.
