About Saint Brevin les Pins
Saint-Brevin-les-Pins grew as a seaside resort in the late nineteenth century, after pines were planted from 1860 to hold back dunes that had been creeping over the village; building of the Saint-Brevin-l'Océan resort began in 1882. The shore has a run of named beaches, including Mindin, Des Pins near the centre, L'Océan, Les Rochelets and L'Ermitage, between rocky headlands at Mindin in the north and Le Pointeau in the west. On the foreshore at the tip of Mindin stands the Serpent d'océan, a sea serpent skeleton sculpture there since 2012. The homes are spread along a few kilometres of the town, with a garden in over half of them, and the Saint-Nazaire bridge, free to cross, sits close by.

Is Saint-Brevin-les-Pins on the sea or the river?
Both. The town sits on the south bank of the Loire facing Saint-Nazaire, and its beaches run along the coast between the rocky headlands of Mindin, at the mouth of the estuary, and Le Pointeau to the west.
Can you cycle from Saint-Brevin-les-Pins to Saint-Nazaire?
Yes. The Saint-Nazaire bridge is free to cross and open to cars, pedestrians and cyclists. It is 3,356 m long including the approach viaducts, so allow time for the crossing.
Why are there so many pines in Saint-Brevin-les-Pins?
They were planted from 1860 to hold back dunes that had been encroaching on the village since the sixteenth century. The forest that grew from them helped turn the place into a seaside resort.
