Holiday region Vendée: traditional windmill
With more than 2,600 hours of sunshine annually, the hilly region on the Atlantic coast between Nantes and La Rochelle is particularly popular as a holiday resort. While the idyllic countryside is a historical area where the Battle of Poitiers in the 8th century has decided the fate of Europe, the coast entices with beautiful beaches, nice seaside resorts such as Les Sables d'Olonne, or the island of Noirmoutier. It lies in the Atlantic Ocean below sea level and can be reached on foot at low tide.
