La Baule: History and heritage
Originally, “Bôle” was a coastal locality, referring to a marshy shoreline. Thanks to the creation of the railroad station in 1879, and the planting of coniferous trees to stem the rise of the sand, the seaside resort of La Baule was developed. Monsieur Hennecart and Monsieur Darlu, originally from Paris, made the resort famous by launching the first construction projects at the end of the 19th century.
After the First World War, the resort saw an influx of Anglo-Saxon tourists and the creation of luxurious private mansions. In 1952, the era of the automobile and the introduction of paid vacations gave La Baule a new energy. Seafront buildings were built to accommodate as many people as possible.
Today, La Baule boasts numerous casinos, restaurants and cinemas, and is a popular venue for festivals. Its heritage includes a remarkable gastronomy of seafood, fish, spiders, oysters and more.
The Sotheby's International Realty network offers its expertise and high standards to meet the needs of its customers. Thanks to the establishment of numerous local partnerships, the agency is also involved in promoting the richness of Brittany.
