Select your Vendee holiday rentals
Vendee holiday rentals are a great base from which to explore the Vendee Breton Marshes, the labyrinth of salt and freshwater streams and watercourses, home to a remarkable flora and fauna, including waders, redshanks and marsh-owls. Take a trip on a 'yole', a traditional small boat, to explore the marshes. Fronting the Atlantic Ocean, the coastline of the Vendee stretches for 250 km, including 140 km of fine sand beaches offering good quality, safe bathing. And 18 seaside resorts offer activities such as sailing, sand-yachting, surfing, scuba diving, canoeing and kayaking, fishing, walking, cycling and golf.
For interesting Vendee holiday rentals, choose those from Les Sables d'Olonne, with its gaily painted villas, beach huts, deckchairs, bistros and restaurants; Saint Jean de Monts, with 8 km of fine sandy beach, beach clubs and activities specially designed for those with families; or La Tranche sur Mer, with its nature trails through dunes and forests and along the sea shore. More adventurous visitors will head for the Ile de Noirmoutier, known for its charming landscapes, forests and elegant villas or the Ile d'Yeu, with its unspoilt coastline.
The saltmarshes in the north-west of the island of Noirmoutier produce the famous ‘Fleur de sel’ with its perfume of violets. One of the region's gastronomic delights is the oyster and the many restaurants along the coast offer these and other fish and seafood specialities. Try sole sablaise with lemon, baked white tuna or mussels from Baie de l'Aiguillon, or barbecued sardines from Saint Gilles Croix de Vie. And be sure to taste a drop of the local white wine from Brem sur Mer.
