Vendee - About the Region

Vendee, a beautiful part of France. The Vendee is a large region which is about the size of Cornwall. Loire is located on the French Atlantic coast just south Nantes. Vendee offers lush countryside and miles of sandy coastline along with beautiful churches and villages. The towns are buzzing with people enjoying the hot weather and markets.

The Vendee has many great coastal towns, beaches, forests and resorts which welcome you with activities ranging from surfing to kayaking. The offshore islands, such as Noirmoutier Island, are full of charm and pretty old traditional French buildings which are along side modern attractions such as the Oceanile Water Park.

The many cycle routes throughout Vendee lead you though magical forests, towns buzzing with people, along long sandy beaches and through small inland villages. These wonderful tracks offer you a quick, healthy, fun and scene full ride through Vendee; from town to town and from beach to beach - the sites you see and wonderful French atmosphere you experience will put a smile on your face.

Inland is flat farming country where you'll find many small, peaceful and beautiful villages, such as Sallertaine. These small villages and towns have wonderful stone buildings and big old churches in the town centres, perfect to explore in the hot, sunny Vendee days. As well as these small villages, large cities such as Challans and St Gilles offer many shops, bars, cafes, markets and restaurants for you to visit. These towns buzzing filled with people give you a great excited feeling as you explore the cities attractions, views, shops and French food.
