There are attractions such as the coastline and sandy beaches at Les Sables d’Olonne, towns like La Rochelle with excellent dining (especially if you like seafood), and the fascinating waterways of the Marais Poitevin all within easy reach.

The Vendee weather is wonderful, and photographers and artists can enjoy the countryside with its varied and stunning scenery. The area is ideal for walking, cycling, golf, fishing or horse riding.
