The southern Vendée is a region steeped in history, as evidenced by the Romanesque churches, the abbeys of Nieul-sur-l’Autize and Maillezais, the towns of Fontenay-le-Comte and Luçon, and the charming little towns such as Vouvant and Foussais.

The Atlantic coast and its fine sandy beaches, stretching from Pointe de l’Aiguillon-sur-Mer to La Tranche-sur-Mer, La Rochelle, Les Sables-d’Olonne and the islands of Ré, Aix and Oléron, are all within easy driving distance. You’ll be able to visit famous attractions such as Puy du Fou, Futuroscope, the aquariums in La Rochelle or Talmont, and the town of the famous Cognac.
