Holiday Vendee Charente

One of the most charming, relaxed and rural coastal areas of France, boasting fabulous beaches such as Sables d’ Olonne, ochre coloured farms and cognac! The heritage of La Rochelle was a key trading port for the colonies of Caribbean France and Canada and many of the influences are still evident today. Nearby Ile de Re is famed for its low rise architecture and amazing mussels and oysters.
