Sailing: become a little sailor for a boat trip!
If you've got your sea legs, make sailing the main theme of your getaway with children and grandparents. "Sail away" could well be the motto of your next vacation in Pays de la Loire.
You dream of feeling the wind fill the sail of your boat, and of sailing with the breeze. In Pays de la Loire, this dream can take the form of a family light sailing course, a family schooner outing or a discovery of the Optimist between juniors.
With "Vogue et Vague", there's no shortage of sailing opportunities in Pays de la Loire, from the Vendée coast to the Loire-Atlantique region.
What do you need? A swimsuit and sun cream when the sun's out.
Sailing the Vendée coast - a sure bet!
Feel like hoisting the sails and setting sail with your whole tribe?
Then head for L'Epine on the Ile de Noirmoutier for a 2-hour schooner trip. Young sailors aged 4 and over can join in the fun. At low tide, oyster lovers can sample some wild oysters on the rocky plateaus.
More active, for those over 10, try your hand at sailing with a state-qualified instructor at Brétignolles-sur-Mer in the Vendée. Aboard a small catamaran, discover the Vendée coastline and learn the rudiments of catamaran sailing from "Vogue et Vague" professionals.
Still in the Vendée region, you can take to the water in Les Sables d'Olonne or Notre-Dame de Monts for a family sailing experience aboard a collective dinghy, from the age of 8 upwards. And in Saint-Gilles Croix-de-Vie, you can start at age 6 for a family sailing experience.
Experience sailing in Loire-Atlantique
In the same spirit, in the Loire-Atlantique region of France, you can benefit from the expert advice of a "Vogue et Vague" instructor in Pornic, from the age of 5. Discover the famous Côte de Jade aboard a Kaidoz 31 sailboat. You can also discover sailing in Piriac-sur-Mer.
And if you're not on the coast? No problem! Still in the Pays de la Loire region, head for Marçon in the Sarthe for a one-hour discovery trip on the lake, thanks to the family-friendly "Vogue et Vague" offer. Accessible from the age of 7, this family activity will introduce you to the basics of sailing aboard a Caravelle dinghy.
All that's left for you to do is follow in the footsteps of great navigators like Christopher Columbus!
