Antonin's advice
« For days when you explore Le Pouliguen, it’s a very authentic neighbourhood gourmet stop. My favourite · the kouign-amann, truly one of the best in the area, and the buckwheat baguette which is a pleasant change from the classic baguette. For a coffee-pastry break, enjoy the coffee corner at €1.15 · a simple and very accessible little luxury. »
