Les Sables-d'Olonne seafront

Highlight • Other

Several miles of sandy beach in a warm color, inviting for swimming, mainly at high tide when the water is high above the deeper pebbles and rocks offshore. It is accompanied by a popular promenade, also used by the Vélodyssée (EuroVélo1) bike trail, that separates it from the coastal road.

Salt Marshes of Île d'Olonne

Highlight • Natural

The marshes are part of the landscape, they are free to access all year round using marked hiking and cycling trails.
From June to September, during the harvest period, the salt workers are on the site of the salt marshes.
'Discussed walks' allow you to follow a salt worker for around 1 hour and discuss the marsh, the profession and all the subjects linked to this activity (context, environment, economy).

The Gueffard mill was built before 1656, abandoned from 1931, then restored in 2023. The reconstruction of its wings allowed it to regain its former glory.
