Where she lies
Frossay
Where the Loire meets the Atlantic
Frossay lies on the Loire estuary between Nantes and Saint-Nazaire, at the threshold of the Bay of Biscay. It is a launchpad for the Atlantic islands — Noirmoutier, Île d'Yeu and Belle-Île — with the vineyards of the Loire behind you and the Vendée's long beaches to the south.
