GR®8

From Saint-Brevin-les-Pins (Loire-Atlantique) to Sevre Niortaise River (Vendee)

Walking through the vast prairies of the North Marshes of Vendée that stretch to infinity. Estuaries and canals crisscross the landscape. The coastline is dotted with traditional ports and fisheries, where oyster farming is a dominant activity. The path then takes you through the National Forest of Notre Dame de Mont. As you continue your journey, the landscape changes, shifting from marshes to dunes, then to a forest, and finally to a rougher rocky coastline: the Côte de Lumière. Finally, you reach the Vendéenne Corniche. Three kilometers of granite rocky coastline stretch before you, offering a spectacular view of the ocean. You can see charming villas from the late 19th to early 20th century nestled between the sea and the rocks.
