🌦 The Weather in La Baule: Unpredictable, But Never Boring!
La Baule enjoys a mild oceanic climate, but it’s not uncommon for the weather to change quickly throughout the day. A bright blue sky in the morning might turn into a brief summer shower by late afternoon. Nothing to worry about — but it’s always best to be prepared!
👉 A few practical tips to make the most of your stay, rain or shine:
Download the “Météo Marine” app – very reliable for coastal areas, with accurate hour-by-hour forecasts. It covers Plage des Libraires, just around the corner.
Pack a windbreaker or rain jacket for your walks, especially in the evening or if you're heading out for dinner.
Close the windows and roof windows (Velux) before leaving the house — especially if rain or storms are in the forecast.
The Les Tournesols house features double insulation, both inside and out, which helps keep the interior cool even on hot days. Keep the windows closed during the day to maintain this natural freshness.
With just a few simple habits, you’ll enjoy everything La Baule has to offer… no matter what the sky decides! 🌤
