As you meander through the boundless meadows of the Marais du Nord de la Vendée, a sense of tranquility envelops you. The landscape is a serene tapestry of intersecting estuaries and canals, enhancing the beauty of the place. The coastline, speckled with traditional ports and fisheries, is a testament to the region’s thriving oyster farming industry.You pause, taking a moment to appreciate the diverse bird species soaring above, their presence enriching your experience. Your journey then leads you into the heart of the Notre Dame de Mont National Forest. The cool shade of the trees offers a welcome sanctuary from the sun, while the melodious chirping of birds creates a peaceful symphony. The fresh, earthy scent of the forest fills your nostrils, and the rustling of leaves underfoot adds to the sensory delight. As you forge ahead, the landscape morphs from marshes to dunes, then to a forest, and finally to a rugged rocky coast: the Côte de Lumière. You take a well-deserved break at the bird observatory nestled in the salt marshes, immersing yourself in the observation of local fauna. Your journey culminates at the Corniche Vendéenne. A stunning three-kilometer stretch of rocky granite coastline unfolds before you, offering breathtaking views of the ocean. Nestled between the sea and the rocks, charming 19th-century villas serve as a picturesque reminder of a bygone era.
