The origins...
In the 1920s, a Parisian business man Louis Lajarrige made the most of the sucess of his estate at Le Bois d’Amour to create the area of La Baule-les-Pins with its information centre and Le Parc des Dryades. In 1927 the two new railways stations were inaugurated at La Baule-les-Pins and La Baule Escoublac. Over the space of 30 years or so the town became the largest seaside resort in Brittany.
