The Charente and Vendée regions are blessed with microclimate ensuring high probability of hot sunny days during the summer. With nearly 100 miles of sandy beaches backed by pine forests and easy access from the southern channel ports, it is a popular destination for British and French holidaymakers seeking a sun, sea and sand holiday. However there is much more to this area than beaches including fortified cities, islands, wetlands and vineyards. It is worth travelling inland from the coast to see rural France at its best as well as some highly rated theme parks such as Puy du Fou and Futuroscope.
Fabulous sandy beaches, unspoilt countryside, historical cities and fine food and wine are just some of the attractions that this part of France can offer. The Vendee is situated in the east coast of France and features mile upon mile of golden sandy beaches that slope into the clear blue sea. It is the perfect place for water-sports or relaxing in the sun with its wonderful climate.
