GR364, du Poitou à l'Océan en Vendée

The GR® 364 is 475 km long and starts at La Roche Posay in the Vienne, passes through the Deux-Sèvres and enters the eastern Vendée, finishing on the ocean shore at Les Sables d'Olonne. Stage 8 of this GR® runs from Beaulieu-sous-la-Roche to Lac du Jaunay.

Update 08/09: Due to renovation and safety work, part of the GR will be closed from 17 to 30 September 2025.

In our department, the new approved route is more tourist-friendly. It runs for 252 km through the Vendée, taking in a diversity of landscapes: its bocage farmland, forests, lakes, rivers, marshes and finally the coastline with its pearl of the Atlantic coast: Les Sables d'Olonne.

The GR® 364 has been "revitalised" over the last 2 years, with its route in the Vendée completely revised and re-marked. It has been divided into 11 stages of between 20 and 25 km, each with its own presentation panel.

Stage 8 of this GR® starts in the commune of Beaulieu-sous-la-Roche and finishes on the banks of Lac du Jaunay, at a place called "Le Pré" in La Chapelle-Hermier.
Accommodation (4 single beds) is available in the village of Beaulieu-sous-la-Roche. You'll also be able to stock up on supplies thanks to the nearby shops.
