Along the river
Fishing
Its fishing is one of the Vendée’s undeniable assets. Sea-fishing, shellfish hunting on the beach, surf-casting by the sea and freshwater fishing are all pastimes you can enjoy.
For the youngest in the family, there are camps focussing on the discovery of fishing and nature, while for practised anglers there are five reservoirs where you can fish from boats for zander and perch.
Devotees of night-fishing can choose from among several stretches of carp streams, and you can also fish for eels.
And that’s not all, because the Vendée also has saltwater canals, lakes, wide freshwater canals, streams and rivers... a true paradise for fishermen.
Canoeing and kayaking
Whether you’re looking for thrills or just a leisurely day out, come and explore the Vendée along its waterways...
On the sea, in the marshes or down a turbulent rocky river, you can enjoy a gentle excursion or a more serious sports course... Professional canoeists and kayakers are on hand to ensure that you have an unforgettable break...
A sure way of getting away from it all !
