Vendée Vélo Cycle through the Vendée Marais Poitevin, between marshes, forests and hedged farmland

Cycling around the département
Looking for a real challenge? The Vendée Vélo Tour is the great loop of the département, divided into 20 stages.

There are 5 key stages that will take you through a variety of landscapes:

• From L’Île-d’Elle to Maillezais: entering the Marais Poitevin
• From Maillezais to Fontenay-le-Comte: canals and heritage
• From Fontenay-le-Comte to Vouvant: heading for the Mervent-Vouvant forest
• From Vouvant to La Châtaigneraie: immersion in the bocage, land of stars

A natural, accessible and breathtaking route. As you pedal along, the landscape tells a new story.
