For the fans of «farniente», many beaches are ready to welcome you ; wild coast or lively beach, it’s up to you to decide!
After a tanning session, do not hesitate to wander in the pedestrian streets, unravel the famous neighbourhood of l’île Penotte with its houses decorated with shells, or take a walk in the heart of La Chaume. This old neighborhood with narrow streets bordered by low houses is accessible via Le Passeur; a boat-shuttle that crosses the channel made famous in the entire world by the skippers of the Vendée Globe.

You can also wander on the markets, looking for seasonal products or handmade souvenirs. The merchants of the market of Les Halles, close to the beach, welcome you every mornings to present their fresh products of our regions.
While the market of Cours Dupont –Wednesdays and Saturdays- is the biggest market fair of Les Sables d’Olonne.

On holidays with kids ? Plenty of activities for the whole family are available, like the Zoo, the discovery of the “Chocolaterie Sablaise”, a mini-train ride, or a discovery mission.
This last one, called « the secret of the navigators», will take kids and adults in a captivating adventure on the steps of the navigators.

The sportsmen will appreciate the various nautical activities. Whether you are a beginner or an expert; rent a Jet Ski, opt for a session of surf or paddle, or discover the pleasure of tubing and the “Banana”. You can try as well diving or canoeing. And on dry land, get tempted by an unusual ride in Segway or rosalie, to travel the promenade in a fun way!
In the evening, many restaurants open their doors alongside the fishing harbour and the beach. After a nice diner, why not go bowling, have a drink with your friends at the casino or enjoy the night animations and free concerts offered in summer, on the promenade.
