La Fresnais: Holiday Apartments and Holiday Homes

The Marais Blanc gives La Fresnais an unusual landscape. It is a flat area at elevation 0, formed by the retreat of the sea. The white soils owe their color to marine alluvium; a system of sluice gates in the Marais Blanc regulates the water level.

The Church of Saint-Méen et Sainte-Croix was built between 1893 and 1899 according to plans by the architect Arthur Regnault. Its exterior features predominantly Romanesque design elements, while the interior is more Byzantine in style; in 2015, it was listed as a Monument historique. The Ville es Mariaux wayside cross dates from 1609 and has been preserved as a notable relic.
