Saint-Marc-sur-Mer, a seaside district of the town of Saint-Nazaire, in the Loire-Atlantique department, in Pays de la Loire, is a small seaside village that has stayed human in scale. The single campsite listed here benefits from direct access to this beach, well known to film buffs.
Camping in Saint-Marc-sur-Mer means choosing an intimate atmosphere, far from the larger resorts, with a small crescent-shaped beach lined by old villas. The village has kept its character as an early-twentieth-century seaside town, despite being close to the Saint-Nazaire conurbation.
It's an address to favour for a quiet stay on the Loire-Atlantique coast, between a family beach and local film heritage.
Saint-Marc-sur-Mer owes its fame to the film Monsieur Hulot's Holiday, shot here in 1953 by Jacques Tati. The beach has kept the setting that made the film famous, and a statue of the Monsieur Hulot character, pipe and hat included, now stands on the sand facing the sea.
The village keeps a retro atmosphere, with its early-last-century seaside villas lined up along the shore, a backdrop that has changed little since the film was shot. The small beach, sheltered by rocky points, remains popular for family swimming.
A few kilometres away, Saint-Nazaire and its shipyards offer a striking industrial contrast with the calm of this fishing village turned film heritage site.
