The Vendée throws open its protected natural sites. Between rocky escarpments and beaches of divinely fine sand which stretch out before the eye to the harmonious accompaniment of the waves, come and discover the delights of the 250 kms of coastline in the Vendée!
Its beaches, inlets and resorts, those gems of sand and glittering gold, add a splash of colour to the fragrant bouquet of greenery.
The unspoilt Ile d’Yeu (23 km²) with its traditional features and the Ile de Noirmoutier (49 km²) with its astonishing causeway, the Gois, shine like majestic beacons on the Vendée coast, totally enchanting in their welcome and their wealth of floral splendour.
From the Breton Marshes, carved from the land by the actions of the sea and of Man, to the Poitevin Marshes, that dream of water-colourists known as the Green Venice, the qualities of the Vendée’s natural landscapes remain elusive and intangible.
A wind laden with history blows along the green and leafy paths of the Bocage countryside, veiling in mystery its chateaux and their thousand reminders of the past.
The charms of the Vendée oscillate between the magical and whimsical colours of its plains and those of its forests.
