Le Champ St Pere - Vendee 85 - Pay-de-la-Loire

Vendée, Pays de la Loire

Benefiting from an exceptional number of sunshine hours, the Vendée conjugates marvellously well relaxation, leisure activities and discovery.

Properties for sale in the department benefit from close proximity to tourist attractions such as the coast which extends over 200 km of mostly sandy beaches. Coupled with an exceptionally mild climate, these have long attracted large numbers of overseas and domestic tourists. Some popular resorts include Les Sables-d'Olonne, La Tranche-sur-Mer and Saint-Jean-de-Monts. Some beaches are "blue flagged" for cleanliness.
The offshore islands are full of charm - known for their pretty white-washed houses covered in Mimosas.
Inland, the chief attractions include the Marais Poitevin (an area of marshlands famed for wildlife), the forested area around the village of Mervent, the rolling countryside of the Bocage and the historical theme park at the Puy du Fou. You will also find Lucon, where Richelieu once lived and Fontenay-le-Comte, an old Renaisssance town, formerly the capital of Bas-Poitou.
