Belle Epoque Villas

Pornichet city captivates visitors with its coastal city architecture. Then you fall in love with its typical villages (like Breton) and modern houses. The most emblematic are the villas of the Belle Epoque and there are many in the Sainte-Marguerite neighborhood, one of the most typical and oldest in the city. This architectural style is rooted in the foundation of the city in the early twentieth century, in the time when the bourgeoisie wanted to rest at the seaside. A feature of these homes is that they have all the names painted on ceramic plates. It is a decorative element that was once used to locate people when the streets did not have names yet.
