CENTRE OEUVRE UNIVERSITAIRE DU LOIRET

This holiday centre located in Saint Jean de Monts in the heart of the Vendée, naturally evokes the image of long sandy beaches. These large open spaces are ideal for Land yachting. However, the Vendeen coast and the hinterland offer much more contrasting landscapes. Dunes, tidal-swept rocks and steep cliffs are a rich natural environment. This environment is linked to the economy of this region. In Saint Gilles-Croix-de-Vie discover a fully operational fishing port. Further on, ‘Le Daviaud’ (natural history centre) ‘tells’ how the Vendéens were able to develop and take advantage of the marshes that cover and shape much of the hinterland.
