Camping in Vendee
The Vendee is steeped in sunshine and is one of the most popular areas in France. The coastal area stretches down from La Rochelle past Rochefort to Royan with beautiful sandy beaches, warm shallow waters, fragrant pine forests and traditional fishing villages. Eighty-kilometres of coast stretch between chic Les Sables-d’Olonne and the northernmost tip of the scenic Ile de Noirmoutier. Venture inland for fields of sunflowers and natural rural villages.
Les Sables d’Olonne is the main resort well known for its magnificent sandy beach. The area between the Vendee and Charent, the Marais Poitevin is a vast expanse of marshland with approximately 1000 tree-lined canals and slow moving streams.
La Rochelle port buzzes with a lively atmosphere. The island of Re is popular for those seeking beaches and smaller, quieter ports. The Ile de Re is fringed by sandy beaches to the southwest and salt marshes and oyster beds to the northeast. The Ile de Noirmoutier was an early monastic settlement of the seventh century and now serves as a relatively plush tourist resort. Here salt marshes are still worked, spring potatoes sown and fishes fished. You can find a twelfth-century castle, a church with a Romanesque crypt, an amazing market in place de la Republique and most of the islands nightlife includes piano bars with longer than normal café hours. There are numerous campsites dotted around the island. Bikes can be rented.
La Rochelle is the most attractive and natural seaside town in France. The islands are great for young families with miles of safe sandy beaches and shallow water. The month of August is particularly busy in this area. Out of season you can enjoy the romance of quiet misty seascapes and working fishing ports.
