The things to do in Vendee in the holidays

All the tourist activities in the Vendée are accessible on foot, by bike or by car when you choose a holiday at the Longeville Vendée Océan holiday village. If you like big sailing races, a trip to Les Sables d’Olonne is a must. It’s actually the town where the Vendée Globe sailing race takes place every four years. Its two ports harbour thousands of boats, some of which have the most awesome pieces of technology for seafaring adventures. Back on dry land, the natural heritage of the Marais Poitevin marshland is also water-based, but in a countryside setting! Enjoy the views of this vast Regional Nature Park from its footpaths and canals – on foot, by bike, on horseback, in a rowing boat or in a canoe. In the region surrounding the 2-star Longeville Vendée Océan holiday village, the cultural heritage offers something for everyone, whatever your interests. Head to the Cour d’Aron Flower Park in Saint-Cyr-en-Talmondais, the car museum, the aquarium and Château Richard Coeur de Lion in Talmont Saint Hilaire. For a moving experience and a big show, don’t miss Cinéscénie® Puy du Fou (preferential rates available) and Futuroscope. You're going to have so many things to tell your friends and family about!
