Coastal walk, follow the red and white signposts along the ocean from the north to the south of the department. The GR8 national long distance footpath provides 221 km of paths for walkers.

Bathed in sunshine and light, the islands of Yeu and Noirmoutier are perfect for gentle country walks.

Head inland and explore the Bocage, another side to the department. Further south, the Marais Poitevin offers a labyrinth of canals to walk by, lined with pollarded Ash trees.
