A tourism property for sale in Loire-Atlantique benefits from two drivers rarely found together: a busy Atlantic coastline in summer and the Nantes metropolitan area, which brings business trips, conferences and weekend breaks all year. The Côte d'Amour from La Baule to Le Croisic, the Guérande peninsula and its salt marshes, the thatched cottages of the Brière, the Côte de Jade around Pornic and the Loire estuary between Nantes and Saint-Nazaire make up the seaside. Inland, the Muscadet vineyards around Clisson, Lake Grand-Lieu, the Erdre river and the Nantes-Brest canal attract Loire à Vélo cyclists, boaters and wine lovers.
The properties on this page reflect that variety: seaside hotels and village hotel-restaurants, clusters of cottages near the beaches, Pays de Retz longhouses turned into event venues, equestrian estates with a pond, leisure parks and guest estates among the vines. It is written for investors, professionals taking over a running business and owners preparing to sell.

The relevant benchmark here is the tourist coast, where a country house sold for a median €330,000 over 2020-2025, well above rural areas. A tourism property combining a home, rental units and land compares rather with large period homes, which reached a median €1,000,000 over 2021-2025, driven by the Guérande peninsula and the outskirts of Nantes. The mix by type highlights equestrian estates and gîte complexes; hotels, campsites and holiday residences mostly change hands between professionals, on the strength of their trading record.
The hotel market splits clearly. On the coast, from La Baule to Pornic, seaside hotels live off a strong summer, extended by thalassotherapy, spring weekends and seminars; property is expensive and scarce land protects value. Around Nantes, hotels rely on business travel and events, with steadier trade. In the vineyards and around Châteaubriant, village inns and hotel-restaurants keep a loyal local clientele at lower entry prices. In each case, separate the building, the business and any commercial lease, then value the business on operating profit (EBITDA). Browse hotels for sale across France and inns and restaurants with rooms.
Groups of furnished holiday lets near the beaches or in the vineyards have their own section: gîtes for sale in Loire-Atlantique. Guest houses are listed under B&Bs in Loire-Atlantique.
The coast has many classified campsites and leisure parks (PRL): you may buy a whole business or, in a leisure park run by selling pitches, a chalet with its pitch, depending on the park's rules. See campsites and leisure parks in Pays de la Loire. The Brière marshes and the banks of the Erdre suit stilt cabins, lodges and gypsy caravans: see glamping sites for sale. Holiday villages and residences follow another model, based on managed operation.
Equestrian properties with a pond and rider accommodation are listed under equestrian gîtes. Longhouses with barns and vineyard estates host Nantes weddings and seminars: see event venues in Loire-Atlantique.
Selling a hotel, campsite or inn involves the building, sold before a notary, and the business, with its own transfer formalities. A public-access building (ERP) needs a favourable fire safety commission opinion; star ratings from 1 to 5 last 5 years; serving alcohol requires a licence and an operating permit, whose transfer the town hall confirms. For a campsite, check the development permit, the authorised number of pitches and the rating. Furnished lets fall under the loi Le Meur of 19 November 2024. On the coast, the loi Littoral strictly limits extensions; read the risk report (coastal flooding, shoreline retreat, Loire floods, Brière and Grand-Lieu wetlands) and the SPANC septic report.
The Guérande peninsula and the Côte de Jade offer the strongest season but the dearest buildings. Nantes provides business trade spread over the year. The vineyards and the north of the department offer lower entry prices, mainly for local guests.
It depends on bookings outside July and August, average rates, staff and upkeep costs and platform commissions. Ask for three years of accounts and test your assumptions with our holiday rental simulator (in French).
Value the building against large period homes, then the business on its operating profit, and add purchase costs and compliance works.
