Sables d'Olonne
Sables d'Olonne is a popular town and beach resort on the Cote de Lumiere that runs along the coast of the western Vendee department.
The good, sandy beach here is 3km long and lined by hotels, restaurants and bars.
Behind stands the town of Sables d'Olonne, the most imortant town along this section of coast, and an active fishing port as well as popular holiday destination. The town has all the activities and facilities you would expect of a busy seaside town.
Much of the long beach is backed by modern hotel and apartment developments.
There are three ports - a fishing port, a port for trade, and the pleasure port of Port Olona.
Sables d'Olonne is also known for the Vendee Globe yacht race - a race around the world single-handed in a yacht - that takes place every four years and starts and ends in the resort.
