Further south and really opposite the island of Yeu, Saint-Hilaire-de-Riez. 13 km of coastline with 3 nautical bases to test sports and leisure activities in the setting of the Pays de Monts forest which borders the dune. Get on a bike, as there are many cycle paths, it's very practical for going to the market or shopping in the pretty shopping streets of the centre. The coast offers magnificent walks, pleasant in all seasons, to let yourself be carried away by the light and the elements! The Corniche Vendéenne can be explored on foot or by bike, it is a coastal path that leads to the Fire (the lighthouse) of Saint-Hilaire-de-Riez. There are small creeks where to stop to admire the landscape, it is a place worth going at sunset. On the way we will see the breathtaking Trou du Diable (rock eroded by water) and the geological formations of the 5 Pineaux (5 huge rocks aligned in the ocean). Push on to the Pointe de la Grosse Terre to discover the Villa de la Grosse Terre and its gardens. Like the rest of the coast, the town has salt marshes, to learn more about this unique ecosystem, the work in the marshes, you can visit Les marshes Salants de la Vie , a guide will accompany you to discover the salt flats of Vendée.
Botanical enthusiasts will visit the Jardin des Rigonneries (from the end of May to the end of August, also available for weddings), run by passionate owners. It is a pleasure garden with many beds to stroll around
Here too there are Bourrines, these traditional houses made of cob walls and with a thatched reed roof. You can visit the Bourrine du Bois Juquaud eco-museum, which is located on a very beautiful listed natural site. An old farm, transformed to welcome visitors and explain the life of yesteryear.
Come on, please children and fun lovers! On the way to Dino's Park, a theme park in the forest, with games, shows, all on the theme of dinosaurs. Or the water games of the gigantic Atlantic Toboggan park? The little ones love the inflatable structures of Youplaland, but also the corn maze in season. Teenagers love tree climbing at the Feeling Forest park. The whole family will meet at 201 Forest Avenue for a game of bowling or mini golf at Parc de la Pège. And the must is to take a carriage ride with Vincent and his horses at the Attelage de la Vie!
