Le Croisic and its architectural heritage • All PYRENEES · France, Spain, Andorra. Le Croisic (Fr. Le Croisic) is a commune in western France, located in the Loire-Atlantique department in the Pays de la Loire region. Located on a granite island that remained separate from Batz-sur-Mer and the mainland until the ninth century, it is now part of the wild coast of the Guérande peninsula. With the exception of the narrow isthmus that connects it to Batz-sur-Mer in the south-east, the territory of the town is surrounded by water, alternating beaches and cliffs exposed to the Atlantic Ocean and a port protected by the jetty of Tréhic. This privileged situation justifies the presence of Man from the end of the Palaeolithic; the territory was the subject of frequent fights between the Romans and successive hordes of invaders until the fifth century, when Le Croisic became one of the favourite resorts of Saxon sailors. In the twenty-first century, Le Croisic was faced with the significant aging of its population.
