France

La Bernerie-en-Retz Centre is a small stop on the branch line running from Nantes to Pornic in the Loire-Atlantique department of western France, listed under UIC code 8711026. Regional trains connect the village with both ends of the line, and traffic rises sharply in summer, when the beaches along the Bay of Bourgneuf draw visitors from Nantes and further inland. The surrounding Pays de Retz is a low coastal country of salt marsh, oyster beds, and market gardens between the Loire estuary and the Vendée. No long-distance service calls at the stop, which is served entirely by the regional network. It lies at roughly 47.08 degrees north and 2.04 degrees west, on the Atlantic side of the Greenwich meridian.
