Camping holidays in Vendee, France

family holidays camping in BrittanyVendee is one of the most popular  destinations for a camping holiday in France.

The region is easy to get to - it is found on the Atlantic coast south of Brittany and north of Poitou-Charentes - and has many miles of long sandy beaches, many that gently slope into the sea and are perfect for children.

Due to its unique microclimate the Vendee gets almost as many hours of sunshine each year as the Cote d'Azur.
