The beaches of Les Sables-d'Olonne between relaxation and activities
Vendée is famous for its beaches, and those of Les Sables-d'Olonne are among the most beautiful in Europe. Relaxing on the Grande Plage, surfing on the wild Plage des Granges, or exploring the peaceful beaches near the national forest... each location is ideal for recharging your batteries or having fun.
After a day at the beach, extend your stroll to Île Penotte, a neighborhood hidden behind the embankment in the small, winding streets of the city center. Île Penotte is the work of the "Lady of the Shells." The local artist, whose real name is Danièle Arnaud-Aubin, decorates the houses with mosaics made from multicolored shells. She finds inspiration in mythology and fairy tales and uses shells such as periwinkles, oysters, and mussels.
Head to Rue des Bains in Les Sables d'Olonne to discover the most original neighborhood of your vacation.
