Additional Information
The house is well equipped for children: cot, highchair, stair gate. It is a happy family house, to which many people return. Plenty of buckets, spades etc., toys and games.
Wifi broadband with free landline calls to most countries.
Linen : sheets, duvet covers, towels, (but not beach towels) are provided. The house is cleaned between each tenancy but not during the tenancy.
Other: Large ground floor room has a snooker table, topped by removable table tennis top. Snooker and table tennis equipment available. The house contains plenty of books, mostly English, to cater for most tastes.
We often go on our own and the house is just as good for only two people!
There are several beaches in the area: Plage St Michel is a four minute walk away and is where we have our beach hut. It is an attractive smallish beach with lots of rock pools.
Plage Valentin is easily walkable (10 minutes) and is larger with surf. Windsurfing and sailing schools are there. The beach at La Baule is the longest in Europe: vast amounts of money are spent on keeping it in the best condition and the huge sweep of the bay is spectacular. About 4 miles (either cycle or drive).
Batz-sur-Mer is on a peninsula with the sea on one side and the salt marshes on the other. Le Croisic, a fishing port, is at the end of the peninsula and is attractive and walkable/cyclable. Le Pouliguen is on the river that separates it from La Baule. La Baule is sophisticated and has its own charm lying among pine trees. Guérande is a medieval walled city, a little inland, and has to be seen. The Brière is a huge freshwater marshland, a conservation area and beautiful.
The salt marshes separate Batz from Guérande. They are a haven of bird life and the colours, ever-changing, are a magnet for water colourists. The salt is harvested using methods unchanged for over a thousand years. Salt is sold in all the surrounding villages and at the side of the roads. A museum in Batz gives the history and fascinating facts about the marshes and the area. There are guided tours in the salt pans.
Local shops sell all that is required. Large supermarkets: LeClerc, Intermarché, Auchan etc all in the area. Restaurants abound, many specialising in seafood.

Firstly the location is perfect. House is in the centre of the town between a café and a pizza place - both very good. Boulangerie and shop opposite with other restaurants just down the road. Lots of great beaches to choose from. The house is brilliant with lots of room and a great private garden for eating and relaxing. Wi-Fi was excellent (I used the small office for working which was really helpful). We have already booked a return trip!
Guest rating:
The house is brilliantly situated in the centre of Batz, within walking distance of the local beach and a few minutes drive from one of the best beaches in France, at La Baule. The house was lovely; well-equipped, homely and clean. The kids (8, 9 and 13) and adults all had a great time. Paddy was great and the booking process was simple. Thanks from us all.

We have holidayed in gites and cottages in France for almost 30 years now and the house in Batz was the best equipped we have ever stayed in. It looks tiny, sandwiched between the pizzeria and café but it's like the Tardis when you walk in the front door. There was a lovely garden and the house was only a 5-minute walk to the beach - where a beach cabin was also available for our use.

We have had a very good holiday in Batz sur Mer.The location is great with many choices.One can sit quietly in the lovely garden, go cycling on the bikes provided which were in good order, visit places like La Baule, Guerande or Nantes. Mrs Manning was very helpful.She gave clear instructions regarding the house and very good information regarding the local area and places to eat and visit.The house was excellent.It was very well equipped, and very comfortable. The only reservation is, if one of your party is over 6 foot tall, the ground floor ceilings are low. I would happily recommend this house and this location to family and friends.
Guest rating:
This house had everything; for my wife, 3 teenagers and myself. My wife enjoyed the large dining kitchen, with every utensil you might ever need and enough crockery, knives, forks etc for 10+ people. 2 sunny courtyards to sunbathe, have a meal, snooze, watch the tiny lizards sunning themselves on the wall. Comfortable beds, 3 bathrooms and a large lounge. Apart from the church bells on a Sunday morning, the house is surprisingly quiet for being in the middle of town. Parking is not a problem. A restaurant either side of us, with a mini-market 20 yds away and 3 boulangeries. Lidl is a 10 minute drive away, and just as inexpensive as in the UK. Carrefour, Intermarche and Le Clerc are a bit further if you need the hypermarket experience. My 3 kids loved the bikes (6), English Freeview, great wi-fi reception and the snooker table/table tennis table. I enjoyed the outdoor markets, beautiful beach, tidal rock pools, your own beach hut, (with chairs and parasol), and the fact that everything is so French, but not speaking the language was never a problem. Le Croisic and Le Pouligen were our 2 most enjoyable days out, the shops are so individual, no High St chains or tacky gift shops. Numerous restaurants, 3 course set menus are usually either 11 euros or 18 euros. This holiday has now raised the bar for our next holiday. A nice touch was when Paddy (owner) phoned us on our 1st day to check that all was ok. It was.
