OUR AREA - VENDÉE AND THE ATLANTIC COAST
The Vendée
The situation of the Vendée with respect to the UK means that you can be with us within a day by boat and car. The distance from the port of Cherbourg is only 400 kilometres or 350 kilometres from Caen and it is only 600 kilometres from Calais. It is also very easy to travel to the Vendée by plane or train. After the French Riviera the Vendée has the most hours of sun in France, except that the beer is much cheaper in the Vendée!

Atlantic coast
With its 240 kilometres long coastline, of which 140 kilometres are fine sandy beaches, the Vendée is one of the best holiday-regions of France. The coast has something to offer everyone. This varies from picturesque fishing towns, rock formations, islands off the coast (Ile de Noirmoutier and Ile d’Yeu) to sociable and lively coastal places and of course the Passage du Gois and its splendid nature, particularly birds. For those who enjoy sports there are many varied choices, such as several surfing possibilities (windsurfing, kite surfing and sand sailing), golfing on the golf courses along the sea, walking, cycling and horseback riding. For children there, are apart from the beaches, the water parks, zoos and aquariums.

A piece of history
The Vendée is also known for its rich history, of which still a lot remains. This is mainly visible in the green undulating inland countryside better known as the Bocage. There are several museums, historical monuments, castles and abbeys to visit. We have all the documentation available. An attraction not to miss, is the historical amusement park Puy du Fou (a fantastic journey through 2000 years of history). Just like the coast the Bocage is well known for its large variety of walking tours and cycling possibilities along the several lakes and rivers, as well as the wine regions in the south of the Vendée.
