vendée and loire atlantique
Vendée is comfortably nestled between Brittany and Charente Maritime. It has a unique micro-climate, which means you get as much sunshine as in the sunny south but without having to travel as far. 140kms of sandy beaches bask in the heat and there's some excellent surf on offer.

The Vendée offers five 18- hole golf courses, museums of every kind, 380km of cycle paths, prehistoric monuments and wildlife galore. How does one region fit it all in?
If you like the idea of miles of golden sand, sloping into sparkling sea - and let's face it, who wouldn't - then the Vendée is the place for you. It's about the size of Devon or Cumbria, but with much more sunshine and a passion for watersports. The beaches here are truly stunning and will ruin you for any other beaches as you'll forever be comparing them and finding others are 'just not quite up to the Vendée standard'.
