From a historical point of view, La Baule is considered "young and green" - the town is just over 150 years old. Therefore, there are not many sights on the map of the town, mostly churches built in the period from the late XIX to early XX centuries.
Especially for you we have compiled a description of some of them in Russian:
- St. Anne's Chapel (Place du Maréchal Leclerc). Today it houses an exhibition center, which periodically holds cultural events, including concerts;
- Notre Dame Church (2, avenue des Alcyons). In the early 30s of the twentieth century, the newly built church became the main competitor of the Chapel of St. Anne. Soon most of the parishioners moved here, and the chapel was used as a cultural center;
- St. Therese Church (Place de Reims). The church was built for about 50 years (since 1928). The reason for such a long construction was the architect's mistake. Despite all the efforts of the builders, the church had to be demolished and rebuilt.
- Church of St. Pierre of Escoublac (31, avenue Henri Bertho). Inside the church are a number of historical relics: a wooden altar, a statue of Saint Anne and two medallions of colored glass at the back of the church, preserved from an ancient chapel.
Apart from the church architecture, there are many art galleries on the city's sightseeing map. The most popular of these are considered Esprit Art and Art Comparisan, where you can see the works of the best artists of Western France.
But the main attraction of La Baule, the photo of which is a must for every tourist, is the modern Palais des Congrès Atlantia. Every year it hosts various seminars, congresses, symposiums, conferences and exhibitions. The large hall of the Palace is designed for 920 seats.
