Saint-Michel-Chef-Chef   Tharon-Plage

Saint-Michel-Chef-Chef, located on a bay, between the port of Saint-Nazaire and Saint-Gildas head, is composed of two resorts : Saint-Michel and Tharon-Plage.
Firstly, the small market town of Saint-Michel, with its majestic church (XIXth century) with bright stained-glass, dominates, to the east, all the country side and the magnificent stretch of water which is lake Les Gâtineaux; and, to the west, about a hundred meters away, an uneven coast gives big beaches of fine

sand and creeks edged with rocky blocks readring into the sea for the pleasure of the fishermen or the fishermen with their square nets on their fisheries.
Secondly, the seaside resort of Tharon-Plage, created by a local architect, Mr Ernest Chevrier, at the beginning of this century. It wasn't long before tourists began to flock to the resort, to enjoy its magnificent beach.
