The bustling holiday resorts on the Vendee coast of Saint-Jean-de-Monts, Les Sables d’Olonne and La Rochelle provide a wide range of activities for young and old alike.
There are also more tranquil places such as the pretty fishing port of Saint-Gilles-Croix-de-Vie, the island Ile de Nourmoutier or the Marais Pontevin Regional Park otherwise known as “Green Venice”.
Cycling is a safe and ideal way to discover the beauty of the area, as there are numerous cycle paths throughout the Vendée linking places of interest.
