T his popular modern
seaside resort in the
northern Vendée is located at
the corner of
the 'Côte de Lumière'
between Notre-Dame-de-Monts
and St. Hilaire de Riez. It's a
fantastic stretch of coastline
blessed with beautiful beaches
and 2,300 hours of annual sun,
so little different from the climate of
southern France. Split
in two by a long plantation of
pine trees, stretching from north
to south along the coast, the
centre-ville lies to the east of the
cordon, while the seafront forms
a lively centre to the west. The
recently restored seafront offers
a network of footpaths and cycle tracks.

VENDÉE, PAYS DE LA LOIRE
Whilst the pathways between
the sea, sand dunes and
forest are great to explore by
foot, bicycle, rollerblade, horse
or even by sand-yacht, there
are traditional nautical activities
and a superb golf course 300
metres from a 15km long sandy
beach and 700 hectare forest
with trails. The laid-back town
with such a choice of activities
attracts both retirees seeking
a full-time base and families
seeking a second home. "Expect
to pay around €200,000 for a
two-bedroom home, €300,000
for a thatched-roof home in the
marshes or €450,000 for something close
to the sea, or with
more prestige," says Anne-Sophie Gaultier,
our agent.
