Beaches and islands of the Vendée

The Village de la Guyonnière, a campsite close to the sea in the Vendée

The retro-coastal location of our Vendée campsite is perfect for families looking for peace and quiet and rest, but all the same wishing to make the most of the delights and pleasures of our seaside resorts.

The Les Sables d'Olonne beach

One of the loveliest beaches in Europe, that of LES SABLES D’OLONNE is located around thirty minutes from our 5-star campsite in Vendée. The sandy beach simply awaits you for a delightful day in the sunshine. Once there, you are also able to take advantage of a multitude of activities such as diving, jet skiing, sailing, surfing, stand up paddle boarding and even parasailing…

In Les Sables d’Olonne, come and stroll to your heart’s content along the dune embankment. The noise of the waves in the background, the terraces of cafés and little shops set the tone. During a family walk, enjoy what this tourist town has to offer you. A holiday atmosphere emanates sublimating this exceptional sea front.

The Grande Plage of Saint-Gilles-Croix-de-Vie

Located in the heart of the seaside resort of Saint-Gilles-Croix-de-Vie, the Grande Plage is one of the most beautiful stretches of sand on the Vendée coast! This wide, south-facing beach of fine sand offers an ideal setting for swimming, beach games, and long walks facing the ocean. Highly popular with families, it is supervised during the season and easily accessible from the town centre and the lively embankment. Between relaxing in the sun, water activities, and a panoramic view of the Atlantic, the Grande Plage of Saint-Gilles-Croix-de-Vie is a must-see outing during a stay at Camping Village de la Guyonnière.

The wonderful island of Noirmoutier

The Île de Noirmoutier island has plenty to surprise you. Starting with its access. Indeed, although the island is linked by a bridge that you can take at any time of day to enter or leave, its second access takes the most unusual form. Le Passage du Gois, a road which is only clear for access at low tide. However pay attention that you only make the crossing per the tide times indicated, as the Passage du Gois is a 4-kilometre road submerged at high tide!

Rest assured, at the campsite reception, our staff will be only too pleased to tell you the crossing times, so that you can do so completely safely! Upon arrival on the island, discover the natural richness of its land and its exceptional soils used for local production. In addition, learn more about everything from its salt marshes, its harbours and little shops as well as its history, by means of its museums and architecture through to its craft industries.

The rugged coastline of Île d’Yeu

Make the most of our situation to escape to one of the most beautiful islands of the Vendée coast. From Saint Gilles Croix de Vie, board a water shuttle for one of the most delightful trips! After a one-hour cruise, you will have the opportunity to set foot on the Île d'Yeu. On site, hire a bike for a bike ride going wherever the breathtaking landscapes take you to your delight! Amongst the forest of maritime pines, the dunes, the multiple creeks or even the steep cliffs, experience the island’s appeal for a total change of scene.

The wild coasts of the of the island have everything to delight you. Make the most of this postcard scenery and of these timeless moments with your tribe. With your head full of memories, you will return you to the mainland free of cares.
