Welcome to the Vendée

For a perfect family holiday destination, the Vendée has it all: with land and ocean, the Vendée offers a wide variety of activities to suit everyone.
Rich with a generous cultural heritage (the award-winning historical theme park Puy du Fou), the Vendée also knows how to combine gastronomic pleasures with the joy of outdoor fun. From the islands of Yeu or Noirmoutier to the 100,000 hectares of canals in the Marais Poitevin, enjoy the sunshine that has given the Vendée the name «Côte de Lumière», Coast of Light. Take your pick of the 140 km of fine sandy beaches.
