A region with a multitude of landscapes
In the heart of the Vendée, nature takes pride of place thanks to the vast, unspoilt stretches of land that invite you to explore.
On the coast, the fine sandy beaches stretching as far as the eye can see, such as those at Les Sables-d'Olonne, one of the most beautiful bays in the world. Or Saint-Jean-de-Monts, offer a peaceful haven where you can lounge in the sun and bathe in the refreshing waters of the Atlantic Ocean. Within a 15-minute drive, you can stroll and relax in numerous seaside resorts, in addition to Les Sables d’Olonne and Saint-Jean-de-Monts :
