To walk
The
island Noirmoutier, at the coast at Beauvoir-sur-Mer,
is a pleasant area for all kinds of walking tours. From beautiful beach
walks, to walks through the pine forests and bird sanctuaries of the island.
More inland, there are many routes as well. The landscape is more hilly
is this part of the Vendée. The hiking tours are generally in and
around lakes, castles and old villages. A bit more up north about 30 km (18 miles) from our house, in the surroundings of Pornic, is a famous walking route along the coast. The so called "route de douaniers". This old route goes past the many rocky coasts, which are present in this region .For hundreds of years it has been used against the local smugglers. We
have maps at your disposal, so you will be able to find the hiking tour
which suits you best. |

The
Vendée is a very varied rambling area. From our house in Beauvoir-sur-Mer
we already set out several routes. For example along the salt pans, where
salt is still being harvested. One of the economic foundations of this
region in the 19th century. Of course also along the oyster farms, and
the small picturesque harbour "port le Bec". Our house is in
the middle of a bird sanctuary. When walking you can encounter a lot of
different animals; little egrets, Ibises, beavers and martens.
