Bed and breakfast in La Tranche sur Mer

The culinary specialities of La Tranche sur Mer

The culinary heritage of the Vendée is unlikely to disappoint! Of course, it's particularly aimed at visitors who love seafood. Salt-crusted sea bass and smoked eel are two specialities that frequently appear on restaurant menus. They also feature Vendée oysters as starters and fried sand eels as tapas. Then it's hard to be picky when it comes to dessert, with gâche and gâteau minute, two sweet treats that are very popular in the region. Which table to choose a few hours before dinner? You're spoilt for choice between l'Équinoxe, Les Isles, Le Panier de Mr Auguste...

What to do at the weekend in La Tranche sur Mer?

We all like to come back from a holiday with something to look forward to. We all like to come back from holiday with a tanned complexion. So get the parasol, flip-flops and snowshoes ready, and head for the fine sandy beaches of La Tranche sur Mer! A little further north, you'll enjoy a different setting with the cliffs of  Jard sur Mer. The commune doesn't just attract couples and families in search of idleness. Sailboats, towed sofas and jet-skiing: this destination doesn't have the notoriety of some of the Côte d'Azur's seaside resorts, but it offers water-based activities that are just as much fun! There's also fun to be had inland nearby, more specifically in Talmont-Saint-Hilaire. It's home to a large cornfield of over 3 hectares that doubles up as a maze. You can even go there in the evening after a day at the beach and solve some captivating puzzles with your children. If you'd like to explore the beautiful countryside around La Tranche sur Mer, take one of the many footpaths starting from the village. You'll pass through a large pine forest, marshes and enjoy a great sense of freedom! But if there was only one leisure activity to recommend for your holiday, it would be the Pirogue.

No, you're not dreaming, it's perfectly possible to navigate the coastline using this very popular craft in Polynesia. Fans of sea kayak outings are generally not disorientated when they give the first strokes of the paddle!"
