A seaside resort on the Côte de Lumière
Would you like to stay in a friendly seaside resort on the Atlantic coast? Les Sables-d'Olonne is sure to delight you on your next holiday! This small commune in the Vendée is part of the Côte de Lumière and has around 14,000 inhabitants spread over just under 9 square kilometres. It is famous for hosting the start of the famous Vendée Globe round-the-world yacht race in its marina every year. Surrounded by Olonne-sur-Mer and le Château d'Olonne, this commune also has a large fishing port as well as a commercial port. You won't be disappointed with your stay on the gastronomic front. There are countless mouth-watering recipes, including culinary specialities from maritime regions such as blue fish with rice and sea bass in a salt crust. These go very well with a local wine such as trroussepinette, a delicious aromatic thorn wine emblematic of the region. For a gourmet end to a meal, succumb to a slice of Vendée gâche or brioche and take a well-deserved digestive stroll!
Activities for adults and children
They often amuse children on the beach, who enjoy picking them up. They fascinate adults, some of whom love to collect them - they're shells. You can discover tens of thousands of them, in all shapes and colours, at the heart of a private museum in Les Sables-d'Olonne. Among these shells, you'll have the chance to admire some exceptional pieces, including clams and very large cones. Another cultural activity offers holidaymakers a chance to enjoy themselves by the ocean. Owned by the Gay family, the zoo has almost 300 residents, including more than 40 endangered species. Among the superb animals to be seen at this zoological park are the red panda, the meerkat and the Cuban flamingo. There are several ways to enjoy the Vendée sunshine. Put your towel down at Anse de Chaillé, a small stretch of sandy beach on the border with Olonne-sur-Mer. There's also Paracou beach, which is popular with anglers and has free parking. With children in tow, the Grande Plage is ideal. It is home to several restaurants and offers a number of water sports activities. Surfing, stand-up paddling, jetskiing or even towed buoys there's something for all tastes and ages in Les Sables-d'Olonne!
