Points of Interest & Landmarks
L'île Penotte is a charming pedestrian neighborhood near the Sables d'Olonne waterfront, adorned with narrow streets and hollyhocks. Known as 'the lady with seashells,' a local artist has spent years embellishing the house walls with colorful shells. Visitors can enjoy the picturesque murals, some of which depict a cat and a mouse, while ascending to admire the high walls and chimneys decorated with shells.
Loved the pictures made of shells often wondered where all those mussel shells went. Sorry walk from the port and beach. Well worth a visit. Look out for the cast and the rat and remember to power upwards because some high walls and chimneys are decorated. There is a plaque in the area explaining about the artist.

Fantastic neighborhood with shell designs! Totally worth a walk-through.
Nice little surprise while walking through the alleyways. Murals made of seashells make for a tactile experience for kids.
Nice seaside town with a street full of shell murals, Lovely beach, life guard.
Lots of free parking
Nice town.
Great Restaurant, lovely location with caring efficient staff and the food was amazing!
Nice tourism attractions, nice sea front and town area, good to trip for one day or stay longer. Advice it.
Beautiful little alley of shell pictures
A secret of Art in the middle of the city so precious and gorgeous a must see but do not touched

Beach
La Grande Plage is a must-visit area located between the port, the channel, and the beach. This historic district was once the city's very first port and still retains traces of its past, giving it a unique charm and a picturesque feel. The beach stretches about eight hundred yards with fine sand, making it an ideal spot for relaxation.
Great beach and loads to do on the front. Easy access to bars and cafes and things for kids to do on the beach (trampolines, go karts).
Debbie C — Google review
One has to love the charming vibe of a fading beach town. The row of house facing the sea a party beautiful and old and partly 70s-80s style high-rise buildings: I like it a lot! The beach is crowded during high season and offers a good swim between lunch or dinner in one of the city's bars and restaurants
Beautiful old city centre with fantastic seaside board walk and awesome beach. Everything you can ask a seaside town of. Great food, great venues, some history and a lot of French Atlantic flair. As a packed tourist hot-spot certainly not everybody's cup of tea. But I like it a lot.
Lovely sandy beach beside promenade difficult to find parking though.
I think it would be good to have a place to wash our hands in public. The weather was great in the afternoon...since we visited during storm season we can't ask much from the beach.
Very beautiful beach, about eight hundred yards long. Very fine sand. It's perfect spot to do,... well nothing!
One of the best beach! However in August it is too crowded I recommend you to go in June or September or early in the morning
Enjoy ur day 😎 beautiful beaches

The Museum of Shell is a fascinating attraction featuring an extensive collection of over 50,000 seashells from various parts of the world. Visitors can also admire taxidermy sea creatures and explore a gift shop on the premises.
A small but nonetheless very informative and absolutely unique museum. If you can spend the time and you happen to love sea life in general, this is a must see. The collection is ridiculous and beautifully sorted.
Tip: bring your google translate app as most describing text is in French only
Parking is easy when using the large parking garage (approx 400mtr walk)

Absolutely loved this little gem of a place , pretty things , great for the family fun , interesting and educational well worth a visit .
I really liked this museum. I was struck by the many and varied shells. Amazing. The staff were so nice and welcoming. My only disappointment was that there were just a few English translations alongside some French information. More information on the shells and in both languages would make it a 5 star museum. Merci pour votre gentillesse.
Great displays and explanations mostly just in French. Not very big takes about an hour and an interesting gift shop with prices from cheap to extremely expensive. Well worth a visit.
Excellent museum. The kids had a great time playing the quiz game too. Nice museum to visit
Good little museum, so many different types of shells and lots to learn. Perhaps a little on the "boring" side for kids, which is why they had prepared little quizzes to give them and little tables with papers and pencils and things to keep kids entertained as well. Ours got a little bag with a few shells at the end which they were happy with. All in all, a cute little museum, to keep you busy for between 45 minutes and 2 hours. Souvenir shop open to the public with lots of gifts etc...
A surprisingly fascinating collection of shells from around the world. Well worth an hour's browsing with descriptions of most displays in French and translated English. Well worth a visit but the shop is a bit pricey.
Nice collection. Friendly management and reasonably enough priced - 21 euros for 2 adults and 1 paying child (3 year old was free). We were advised the visit would take around an hour and a half but we were done probably in 30 minutes. There are lots of beautiful shells within and you could spend loads of time I am sure looking at, learning etc. Good little distraction and not too expensive, providing 4 stars as we knew what it was before paying and there were no complaints.

Small, quiet beach, along the coast from the main Plage de Paracou at Les Sables-d'Olonne. A bit rocky in places but less people and noise than the larger beach.
Parking nearby is free.
Small beach just outside of town. Some nice food stalls and the possibility to take surfing lessons.
top ☀️🥂
Cracking beach, popular with surfers, whom we joined for a while early one morning. Very refreshing!
Gets overcrowded during pesk season, especially at high tide.
Beautiful clean beach. Can get a bit crowded at times.
Nice place but very crowdy in July and August.

It was the worst experience. I ordered a sandwich and he gave me a sandwich with only with cheese and non meat.
And what we ordered with my family he gave us the same sandwich for everyone even if we ordered different think each one .
I don't recommend it 🤮🤮😡😡
Got sick after eating a cheeseburger there, this take away has some serious hygiene issues!
Absolutely delicious kebabs , reasonable pricing and fast service as well.
I highly recommend this place

This establishment is more budget-friendly compared to other seafront restaurants, while still being conveniently located just a minute's walk away from the famous "Promenade du Ramblai". Situated right behind the bustling Market Place, Le Bistrot Du Palais serves up delicious dishes that are sure to please.
Passing by chance ,the place is full ,the nice owner finds a cosy table for 2 and my basset hound ,the best couscous and moussaka we have ever had ,highly recommended thank you for a lovely meal

I cannot recommend going to this establishment!
While we were dining a fight broke out between the owner and the waitress. Whatever the reason for their altercation, the owner behaved unacceptably, shouting at and terrorising the waitress; calling her names. This kind of behaviour is completely unacceptable harassment!
Very good restaurant. Food is delicious and the quantity is big.
Very delicious traditional Moroccan food, not far from the beach.
Love the food as its great and it is at a reasonable affordable price.
Excellent food and very friendly service.
Highly recommended. Reasonably priced.
More affordable than similar restaurants with sea view but just 1mn walking from the famous "Promenade du Ramblai", located literally behind the "marché" (Market Place).
Well done Jérôme.
We had a very nice lunch here, very good daily menu, just what we were looking for

Wok restaurant
La Cabane d'Arthur is a wonderful bar situated directly on the beach, offering a mesmerizing view of the setting sun casting its warm glow upon the crashing waves. The food served here is surprisingly delightful, especially considering its beachside location. The staff members are amicable and provide attentive service to ensure an enjoyable experience for all patrons. Despite being in such a prime location, the prices at La Cabane d'Arthur remain reasonable.
Superb beach eatery offering a much needed alternative to the trad French seafood scene. Don't get me wrong, there are some superb restaurants in Sables d'Olonne, but for this Englishman it's great to have a break and a serious vegetable hit!
We arrived way too early for our booking (you will need to book, because this place is popular) and were promptly seated and served.
The menu is clever mixing many items to form different dishes, but it is all fresh, full of flavour and fast.
Space is tight, but well arranged. I suggest anybody with limited mobility sits inside where tables and chairs are at normal heights. Wheelchairs would be difficult. Outside, it's all quite low which was not a problem for us. Outside is quite magical as you face across the bay into the sunset. With the sea at your feet and a warm breeze, what's not to like?
I'll let the pictures speak for the food, but the burgers we didn't order looked awesome too.
Highly recommended, but remember to book. 👍
Russell W — Google review
Very beautifully located and nicely decorated beach hut on a lesser frequented near the city center of Les Sables d'Olonne. The place is nice, but the food is poor: It may look good on Google or Instagram, but it's actually mostly out of the fryer. Vegetables were old and not tasty at all. In contrary, the food is quite pricy... drinks are ok.
We LOVED this place! Best Vege burger I’ve ever had!! We want the recipe! Also, poke bowl was perfection! Merci!
Prudence!! Yes this is a great spot on the beach but if you have any sort of allergies STEER clear.
They have embraced the use of iPad style technology to place your order via a server. However they do not communicate allergies to the kitchen. The waitress who is working alone therefore has no time to make sure or take care is rushing around delivering food from the kitchen, with food that can send you to hospital, clearly showing the kitchen has not understood or the employers are unconcerned for your safety.
My wife was served beautiful food but the whole experience was marred by the lack of care taken over a serious allergy.
My final plate the desert was served with a piece of butter gateau yet it was only when the chef came to the table with our coffees I was able to confirm with him that the gateau had indeed been made with butter. He was very proud of his butter gateau he said it is really good.
I’m sure if they want SAMU outside for publicity then they are heading in the right direction.
La Cabane d’Arthur you have the technology in place with your ordering system to ensure the chef/kitchen and serving staff all know that they have someone sitting at a particular table on order number X !! Put it in place before someone eats something off of their plate before realising the chef has sent the wrong food!!
Super evening meal right on the beach with the setting sun ☀️ in the background, lighting up the crashing waves.
Good food, friendly service, price moderate given the location. Will be going back
Go for the location. Food surprisingly good for a beach location. Our server was friendly and attentive. Spent a fun 90 minutes there!
Only had coffee but slow service and cold.

We had a very pleasant evening. The food is delicious and the view amazing!
Excellent views! Food was excellent but portions were quite small. Not full at end of 3 course. Next time would do cheese course also.
Another wonderful eating experience at the Loulou. I recommend a visit wholeheartedly. The welcome, the quality of ingredients, the originality of the menu and the service are exceptional plus a stunning view of the côte sauvage. An extensive wine list to suit all budgets. Thankyou.
A lot of potential. A great view, nice sittings. Good food, elegantly presented. However, the service was too slow, the scallops over cooked and the portions too small. I felt hungry throughout, especially towards the end of the meal. Don't forget the side dishes please.
Fantastic view, delicious food, very good service, a great experience 😊
The view is splendid, the food is excellent and the service is pleasant without becoming familiar. We will surely go back.
Amazing Ormeaux, lobster, and deserts! Great place in a velvet atmosphere to eat really refined and fresh seafood and overall French food

For day 2, we recommend exploring the south side side of town. Start the day off with Parc zoologique des Sables d'Olonnes, then wind down and take it easy by the time you get to Le Puits d'Enfer. All together, your day would be filled with about 8 hours of non-stop fun.

Parc zoologique des Sables d'Olonnes is an eco-zoo located near the beaches, home to around 500 exotic animals including lions, giraffes, Amur leopards, monkeys, pandas, and penguins. The zoo is committed to animal conservation and environmental protection. Visitors can explore imaginative habitats housing about 50-70 animals at a reasonable admission fee.
We've been here 3 times now, over 2 years, and this is such a lovely zoo! Only fairly small however we love it here... giraffes the obvious favourite, however the little parrots that you can feed with nectar pots are so much fun! Totally recommend
Elliott G — Google review
Lovely day out, very much enjoyed this zoo. Could have been our luck but the animals were all visible and active.
It's nice to visit with kids :) Buy the bird food at the entry, they birds are friendly.
Though, a tiny trick:
The birds reach more than the hall at the start, if you keep walking there's an open space near and there will be more little parrots to say hello.
Great little zoo involved in many international conservations programs. The path are surrounded with exuberant vegetation making you feel like you're in the middle of nature. Around 50 species available in great natural looking enclosures. Some shows available at times during the day. Reasonable in price, 16.50€ for an adult. The bar- restaurant is also reasonable in price.
Lovely zoo. Friendly staff. Very pleasant experience and not too busy
Lovely little zoo. Very well looked after animals. Beautiful bird space with the possibility to feed them. A great place to visit when it is hot an sunny as most parts of the park are with big trees. Suitable for prams. Food stand with outdoor seating area and souvenir shop available.
Beautiful zoo that focusses on providing natural habitats for the animals and also try to preserve the planet through their ecological plan of action.
It's gorgeous and definitely a recommendation!
A somewhat smaller zoo, but beautifull and fun. There is an optimal route which should take you past all enclosures. The zoo was very nice for (young) children. Take your time and you will have a nice visit. There is nectar at the entrace for €1 which you can feed to some birds, which is really worth it.

The quality of the dishes and the reception are excellent, the restaurant of the casino provides a special well-being, calm and relaxing the restaurant makes you want to know more about the establishment. A space for people wanting to smoke is available. There is a beautiful garden located in the back, did not miss the opportunity to take a tour.
It is essential to book in a period of school holidays. Enjoyed a free drink at the casino bar.
In a cosy and trendy setting, discover a fresh and gourmet cuisine, homemade as well as grilled wood fire!
In summer, enjoy the terrace of the restaurant for a lunch or a quiet dinner, on the garden side.
Open every day, midday and evening.

Loved it. It was my first experience at casino and i fing it great with a lot of playing options
It's a nice place...
It's a casino. Lots of choice of games, slot machines from 0.01 Euro up. The whole place is being renovated, so it's not in peak form. For non-gamblers, the various different tokens/paper receipts/what you can or can't play with which token is a bit disconcerting. All in all it's OK, but no better
Good casino with restaurant bar and discotheque
nice casino the welcome and attentions reserved for platinum members (like me) is perfect ... I highly recommend
First visit to this JOA casino and I was pleasantly surprised!! Much bigger than others I've visited, outside electronic roulette and games (smoking area) and a lovely outside bar.

Hospital Blockhouse Museum is a must-see attraction, offering an insightful reminder of wartime medical practices. Located in the original German WW2 bunker complex, this small yet interesting museum features exhibits and artifacts that provide a unique perspective on healthcare during wartime. Visitors can enjoy a great English subtitled film and translation cards for an informative tour. The museum also offers a children's scavenger hunt to engage younger visitors. Although primarily in French, language barriers are overcome with translated materials provided at the entrance.
Fantastic museum. So well thought out and laid out. Very inclusive for children as they had to find clues in the displays. If you like history it's a must, it will give the chills!
Maria F — Google review
Great museum to see the impact on the area! I was more familiar with the Normandy region, and this was an excellent addition of knowledge for the local area and had excellent displays.
Brilliant experience, well worth a visit. My teenager loved it. Not buggy friendly so keep that in mind. Amazing collection of artefacts and very good explanation and translation sheets available for the different areas.
Very interesting museum that remembers the town during WW2. Beat to visit early or late because by its design, it can be cramped if many people are there. Apart from learning about he Germans' medical expertise during the war, there are also interesting nuggets about the men and women from the town who fought in the Resistance.
Interesting historical site. No English translation available so it was a challenge to understand the explanations by the exhibits. If I was still fluent in french I would have given 5 stars!
Excellent visit and exposition of the German Army occupation of Vendée. A film with English subtitles giving a brief overview of the WWII occupation. Well worth the small price for a one hour step back into the past.
Love this place
Thank you very much for the staff to explain some of the pieces in the museum
Thank you
Very interesting museum set in original German WW2 bunker complex.
Quite small but with lots of interesting exhibits and artefacts.
A really good narrative on the local history with a great English subtitled film to set the scene as you tour the museum.
Make sure you ask for the translation cards at reception.

Very impressive rocks, waves splashing into them with great force. There are places to get on top of them but do so at your own risk. Watch out with little children cause there is a high dropoff. It's not very busy and an ideal place to make pictures. There is a very good Italian restaurant nearby. Well worth a visit if you are in the area.

Beautiful spot to visit!
By the way the restaurant across the street was fabulous! 👌
If you head out of Les Sables d’Olonne along the coast towards Talmont St Hilaire you will come across the Puits d’Enfer - the wells of hell!
There is a large car park on the side of the road and you can walk just a few meters to wards the edge where you will see the waves crashing against the granite cliffs - try to arrive at high tide for the best effect.
Please note there are no barriers along the cliffs, so this may not be suitable for young children, or dogs if they are not on a lead.
These ‘pits of hell’ are less daunting in summer, but I’ll bet that during high surge tides this is an amazing spectacle.
A rock formation with the ocean coming through in different areas, lots of tales and mythology about these rock formations.. Interesting, we walked all along the beach to get there, very pleasant walk.
Excellent, good walk along beach, ample parking and a very impressive place
Interesting rock formation near Les Sables d'Olonne, worth the 5-10min detour if you are going south on the coastline.
The sea was quiet when we visited today but it is still a beautiful spot and we could imagine how ferocious it could be when the conditions allow

What an amazing restaurant! Beautiful homemade food, a family owned little gem. all made in house with organic products! no packet pasta here. and the desserts are to die for. the chef has great pastry history in Michelin starred restaurants. A Must try!
I would definitely recommend you going to this restaurant. The food is really good. I had the pizza and it tasted delicious. The service was very nice. I would really recommend the desserts! The vanilla ice cream was very very good and so was the tiramisu! They are also very good with handeling with people who have an allergy.
Lovely restaurant on the beach. Service was great.
Food was good and flavoursome, wish it had been served hot.
Kids ravioli was not tasty unfortunately, my daughter didn’t eat more than her first bite.
Good restaurant. Nice views of the ocean across the street though. Used to be gluten friendly though and now it has 2 gluten free options on the menu: basic pasta and risotto. There are no attempts to accommodate. For this I give 3 stars. The gluten full options look good. Service is ok.
Very hot table towards the back of the restaurant. I always find the pizza menu a bit weird and rather disappointing (for instance the "Classic" is basically a cheesy pizza loaded with sliced ham). We have been back here a few times because the location is stunning, but probably won't again.
Absolutely beautiful place. A view which is worth the visit alone, lovely menu with excellent food. Wine arrived properly chilled, service was friendly polite and professional without being rushed. We had Carbonara and pizza both of which were excellent, desert was chocolate cake with a caramel sauce again delicious. Could not fault this restaurant and other than the wine everything was well priced. Absolutely will return and highly recommend. Visited again July 2022, still as good as ever, 73 euro including wine and dessert in a most beautiful location.
Wonderful food in this lovely family friendly restaurant.

affordable
Italian restaurant
NONNA is an exceptional Italian dining establishment that offers superb cuisine and excellent customer service. It comes highly recommended due to its popularity, so making a reservation is advisable. The restaurant provides a wonderful ambiance and a wheelchair-accessible toilet, making it suitable for all patrons. The lasagne served here is unmatched in quality, while the pizza surpasses expectations with its delicious taste. The staff are friendly and accommodating, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere for diners.
We walked in the rain for 2 miles because we heard this place was amazing, and it did not disappoint! We tried the risotto parma, the lasagna, and the truffle pizza. The artisanal pizza maker is from Sicily, and the dough had a great “chew” to it. The lasagna had deep flavors, and you could taste the beef throughout every bite. Often times the noodle and sauce is all you can taste. This lasagna was rich and flavorful. The risotto was light and perfectly creamy. We also ordered the burrata on arugula, which had a very strong citrus taste. It was different than what I was expecting, but a perfect light addition to start our meal. We finished with three desserts, the chocolate mousse torte (not on the menu), the hazelnut dessert, and the vanilla gelato with salted caramel (the winner!). The servers were so friendly and helpful, especially since we didn’t speak Français. The restaurant got REALLY busy, and even though the servers were actively (and quickly) attending to everyone, we saw the guests looked relaxed, happy, and everyone was having a wonderful evening dinner. We like to try different places on our travels, but we may have to visit this little gem again on this trip! At least we ordered an extra pizza to take away! Oh! The server brought us an extra treat, the Italian citrus cheesecake!! Normally I wouldn’t have ordered it because I’m not a huge lemon/lime fan, but this was actually REALLY good! Will have to have this also on the next round.

Fantastic food and service, did two nights here for pre Ironman pasta and pizza.. with a couple of sneaky carb loading beers. Great location, food was top quality and staff were super friendly. Would highly recommend.
Went to Nonna with high expectations after reading the reviews but we were extremely disappointed.
We arrived at 7.15 wth a reservation and were seated outside in a empty terrace even though the restaurant was half empty inside at the time.
Our server was very pleasant and helpful but as the restaurant became busier it was difficult to get service as she seemed to be the only one servicing our area.
For starters we had bruschetta (good) but the arrancini was luke warm and not very tasty.
All our mains were served luke warm.
Rigatoni with pesto was bland.
Pizza’s were undercooked and salty.
Steak and mushroom pasta were better.
Chicken was awful, served with soggy roast potatoes and under seasoned.
Cannot recommend and would not go back.
Fab restaurant. Just had the best lasagne ever. Lovely friendly staff. Doggie and wheelchair friendly with wheelchair toilet.
Excellent food, atmosphere and service. The music is great and the people are so nice. I highly recommend going there for its location as well.
Perfect place to get dinner. The staff were amazing! The waiters were extremely welcoming, smiley, caring and professional, they made sure we were taken care of and were super kind! The food was delicious, the arrancinis and buratta were scrumptuous. The atmosphere is lovely outside, I highly recommend. Thank you for an great night!
Excellent food great location and decor. Highly recommend.

Amazing place with very delicious dishes. This is one of the few fantastic places i have ever been. Highly recommended! If we come here again to visit, we will return to this restaurant for sure.
the MOST delicious mocktail i’ve ever had! delicious crêpes. the fries were good, but i wish they gave me a plate for that. amazing service even tho we were foreigners. very cheap also.
Friendly cafe on the promenade, recommended especially during sunset. Try their cherry beer and citrus crepe.
Best steak and frites I've had in my life, food was served extremely quickly. Service was impeccable
My experience as a tourist with family was not great. Sure, we got a table and menus but no service after that. If you have kids with you, I recommend to go for something else. The menu looked good, so no negative comment about the food but it all starts with service and here we met none unfortunately.
Had a lovely beer here outside sitting undercover looking at a storm over the sea. Friendly staff.
Very nice meal here looking out over the sea and watching the sunset. Definitely worth a visit.

Second visit to Le Cayola. Still fantastic. Completely renovated. Under new ownership, management and staff. Excellent food and service and probably deserves a Michelin star for the location alone!
Wonderful experience. Food was great and staff very friendly. The only little bémol is about the quietness. The dining room is not that able to reduce the noises and on the day we were there, a baby was shouting and crying a lot
The views on the seas are just stunning, the place is on a gorgeous cap. Food was creative, vey good and the wine pairing was great. One of my nicest restaurant outings of the last few years.
Belle expérience! Amazing place with excellent food and the most beautiful view from the restaurant I’ve ever seen. There is parking which is great, you feel safe and you don’t worry where to park your car. There is also an amazing particular room you can book if you want to take time with your friends or family.
Beautiful views, amazing food, but most of all the staff. They are attentive, knowledgeable about the dishes, very pleasant and very well trained. A pleasure to eat there
Lovely restaurant on the sea front very good service Lovely staff and great food
Great restaurant on the beach.
Great ingredients, dishes are inventive and tasty.

Boat tour agency
Canoe & kayak rental service
Gift shop
Theme park
Located in the heart of the Olonne marshes, LES SALINES boat tour agency offers a unique opportunity to explore the history of salt production while enjoying yourself. Just a stone's throw away from the city, this excursion immerses you in a timeless experience. With various options available, such as an authentic tour of the salt beds or a bike ride through The Salt Extraction Area Les Salines, visitors can engage with and learn about the region's fascinating past and salt-making process.
Discover the old way of making salt from sea water. Very interesting and educational, but be aware almost everything is in French. The boat tour around the main canal shows the locks to renew the water and is really relaxing. The commentaries were really great to get to know the history of the place (in french...). After we got on to see a demonstration / explaination on how the salt marshes are exploited to make salt (again entirely in french), then the kids get to harvest some salt themselves. The rest of the park is to be explored by walking through points of interests with displays available. Altogether a great experience but either you're fluent like me or have basic french you will be missing on a lot of content.

Excellent written guide on English! Simple and interesting descriptions. Highly recommended.
Had an amazing afternoon, really loved the place , staff lovely and very helpful, kind of place we'd go back to..
It let's it down with the lack of the tour after the salt maker...
Salt's nothing like il de ré for Flavour either and shop's overpriced.
Plus side cheapest canoe ride ever. It's worth it for the calm paddle down the river ( you get no instructions though 😅)
Very interesting place to visit unfortunately everything is in French. Yes, everyone speaks English but all signs and shows are in French. A bit disappointment but still enjoyed the visit!
Such a lovely experience we bought the full package goes with boating around, it was nice view along the canal, then back the guy explains salt made,collecting of salt experince for children, and this super massive Saline plenty of adventures for children around, must visit this when you go to west of france
We didn't do the boat trip, just the trail and the demo.
Interesting slice of history and a good explanation and demonstration of the process of recovering salt from the marsh sea water.
Written guide in English (or German) will give you a good idea of what's going on although without a good grasp of French you'll miss some of the detail.
Exit through the obligatory gift shop with refreshments, sea salt and every salty snack and accessory you could imagine on offer.
Free parking and toilets available.
Authentic tour of the salt beds. Some parts of the site need to be updated but the kids still had a lot of fun and we learned a lot about the history of the region and the salt making process. Kids get to harvest their own salt.

Libert E Trott offers an exciting experience with electric scooter rides through the vineyards, tasting visits at the St Nicolas estate, guided tours of the auction house, and encounters with salt manufacturers in the heart of the salt marshes. Visitors have praised their professional team and high-quality equipment for a comfortable and enjoyable adventure. Despite some initial hiccups with reservations, guests appreciated the efforts made to ensure a memorable trip.
We rented 2 bikes, no problems, we extended the rent without problems. We got a discount when mentioning our hotel, without knowing this was possible. They had larger bikes for us and they ran without any problems. Nice people, great service! We will come back next year.

Excellent fun. We spent an afternoon with a guide, touring the dunes, woods and marshes outside town on all-terrain e-scooters. Easy to get the hang of, though the instinct is to sit down because they are the size of bicycles!
This bike shop is a gem , really friendly staff who went out of their way to satisfy my 12 year old with the machine he had been looking forward to ride on his holidays which really made his day . Definitely would rent from this place again .
Hired from here twice.. the guy is very helpful and speaks good English.. the electric bikes were great quality.. I would highly recommend this place..
Fantastic service. Great bikes & great staff. Located right on the beachfront next to the cycle lane. All bikes are sparkling new top of the range. Easy simple transaction. Baskets, helmets locks etc available.
Super friendly team at the shop helped me choose the best bike for my needs and made sure I had all the right equipment. Will be back next year!
Superb service, the bikes are great, the staff very helpful and friendly. We'll go back before the end of our trip, it is that good.
Excellent experience!
After reservations made via the camping (Yelloh!) app, we arrived at the meeting spot this morning to learn that our reservation was not passed on to libert-e-trott. Also the price communicated by the camping app was not correct. All of this due to it being a new collaboration since this year.
But Alexi and his dad didn't want to disappoint our kids and us and put everything to work to make sure we could still join the trip around the lake. Agreements were made on the spot, they juggled around with the vehicles they brought along and sure enough after 15 minutes we were learning how to move around on the steps, soon ready for the departure. (Fyi: things were set straight immediately and camping app would be corrected first thing tomorrow). So, excellent customer-centric thinking/handling 👍👏
Clearly they can't take credit instead of mother nature for the beautiful lake and its' surrounding, but absolutely for the way the guided us around/over it, showing us the most beautiful spots to be seen, including some wildlife living on or near the lake, while with respect for it.
At all time they were ahead of things, using their knowlegde of the environment, talking to locals (mostly MTB) about the newest road blocks observed and as such guided us around without any hick-up.
Libert-e-trott is a young company but what they offer and the devotion with which they offer it are absolute class, they have everything it takes to make this a huge succes. We loved the trip, were very satisfied about the hosting and moved by the environment in which it took place. As such, we insist on recommending libert-e-trott as a must-do when visiting the Lac Du Jaunay!

Had a nice time playing on several machines, but one big con is that there are only electronic games.
Perhaps the machines are too modern ( Chinese) for my taste, did not enjoy the modern roulette either...no groupies, just screens for everyone. However the blackjack table with a wonderful lady dealer made it up for us. Do come decently dressed. No flip flops shorts etc

This is an exciting and creative restaurant. You'll get food that's a little surprising here.
Menu highlights for us were the moule frites (done totally differently to the traditional way) and the lemon meringue pie.
The owners are a couple and they are very friendly and welcoming.
This restaurant is really not welcoming. If you want to have a nice meal, there are plenty of other places to choose from in the city!
Lovely dinner, tasty food excellently presented.Melanie is a great cheffe and Alex made us completely at home. Starter, main and dessert were all excellent. A credit to the town.
Great Restaurant with very friendly staff and amazing food in a nice Ambiente! It’s worth to go there!
Very interesting food (Curry Ice Cream for dessert) but at normal restaurant prices.
Style over substance. Inedible salted chocolate.

It's a burger king... And somehow they managed to screw up a whopper. Kids where happy though so that's something ;).
Service is friendly and fast, the burgers are greasy and the beef had some residues of the grill. Looks like their grill is not so clean. Maybe because we ate 1 hour before closing. The tables and floor are fealthy dirty.
4 star for their products but for the service of this branch, I love burger King so I always choose this instead of any other fastfood but it's 3 star only for customer service, one of burger king slogan is HAVE IT YOUR WAY. I request to have my sandwich just one burger patty and the girl order taker in the drive thru said they cant modify my order so I said ok just cut it into half because I might not able to finish it all at once and she again denied my request and said they can't do it so yes I am a bit disappointed.
Way better than any American Burger King I’ve ever ever been in
The food itself was probably the best I've ever had in a burger king (in the USA it in France) so that alone would have gotten it five stars....however, we waited 28 minutes for two meals and a small order of fries. There were people ahead of us who had waited longer and I can only imagine how people in the drive thru felt.
The staff were wonderful and sorted me out with fries when I forgot to order them. Bravo continue comme ça. Merci beaucoup!
Had a take away comprised of their fries, nuggets and of course their king burger. It was OK and I really enjoyed it. Will go back, given the opportunity

Fairly decent beach for a stroll but definitely not for swimming, strong under currents and rocky shoreline would make for no fun.
Nice place for kids to explore though.
A big beach with a nice difference between high and low tide. Low tide gives plenty of sand to play on. On the two days we visited, nice waves on the first day and nothing on the second day. Secure swimming area at the main entrance to the beach, and surfing area to the right. Little cafe as well as a place for body board and surf board rental on the beach, and lots of people taking surfing lessons. Parking gets busy from lunchtime. Walk for five minutes, you can find a quiet place compared to around the beach entrance. 10 minutes walk along the beach is the nudist area.
Great beach for the whole family with the additional barrier, so the smaller ones can play and not worry about the waves.
Nice beach, feels safe with the numerous life guards present. Parking can be a bit of hassle to find a spot , we generally had to go a few times around before someone was leaving whose spot we could have. It’s about a 5 minute walk to the beach from the parking.
At the beach itself there is plenty of space (tide dependent) and a bar/shack that sells refreshments.
Great if you need pushchair access
My so far best beach for surf. You can rent surf or body surf boards there with low price.
Cool

(Translated by Google) Wow! What a magnificent church! We stopped there by chance while passing through Les Sables and what a beautiful surprise! From the outside it is difficult to appreciate its beauty and grandeur as it is right in the city center, but once inside we were dazzled by its beauty! Impressive stained glass windows, numerous statues, decorations and details in every corner. Don't hesitate to visit it if you have the opportunity, there was a stand run by nuns unfortunately the prices are not displayed and given haphazardly (not always the same from one person to another...) and extremely expensive... too bad some accessible souvenirs would have been appreciated :)

Wouah ! Quel magnifique église ! Nous nous y sommes arrêtés par hasard de passage aux sables et qu'elle belle surprise ! D extérieur il est difficile d apprécier sa beauté et sa grandeur comme elle est en plein centre ville, mais une fois à l intérieur nous avons étés éblouis par sa beauté ! Des vitraux impressionnants, de nombreuses statues, des décors et des détails à chaque recoin. Ne pas hésiter à la visiter si on a l occasion, il y avait un stand tenue par des bonnes sœurs malheureusement les prix ne sont pas affichés et donnés de façon hasardeuse ( pas toujours le même d une personne à l autre...) et extrêmement cher ... dommage quelques souvenirs accessibles auraient étés appréciables :)

The Museum of the Holy Cross Abbey is a site where contemporary and modern art are displayed. It is situated in a 17th-century abbey that also showcases exhibits on the local surroundings. The museum is accessible to people with reduced mobility, making it easy for everyone to enjoy all exhibitions, including young children who can make use of an excellent booklet provided for them. Overall, it's highly recommended to visit this museum due to its rich collection and accessibility features.
Interesting museum with contemporary artists (Gaston Chaissac) and local copies of the masters (I spired by Picasso, Kandinsky, Matisse). Also a beautiful building restored from 17th century Abbey of Sainte-Croix with a section about local architecture and marine arts. Multiple temporary exhibitions in the year offer a focus on one artist or one topic.

Very interesting gallery. Art is very subjective and this display falls into that category. Well worth a visit (staff are friendly and helpful too).
Well preserved and repurposed church building and now arts centre.
Small exhibitions of Modern Art. Viktor Brauner! Very nice.
very nice eclectic mix of regional contemporary art. It flows nicely through the gallery /museum.
If you like this sort of art i recommend.
Super expo !
(Translated by Google) I visited this contemporary art museum in August 2025 before it closed for renovations and saw the exhibition "Behind the Scenes," in which curator Gaelle Rageot brought out a number of works from the museum's collections to give a glimpse into previous programs, all orchestrated by works by @sansonbraun and @corentincanesson.
As a regular visitor to museums, particularly contemporary art museums, I found this inventory of works very accessible because it was largely composed of painted works (and without the usual miscellaneous installations of pseudo-contemporary art).
It's superb and very much to my taste. Bravo.

J’ai visité ce musée d’art contemporain en août 2025 avant sa fermeture pour rénovation et vu l’exposition « l’envers du décor » dans laquelle la commissaire d’exposition Gaelle Rageot a sorti pas mal d’œuvres des collections du musée afin d’avoir une vision des précédentes programmations, le tout orchestré par des œuvres de @sansonbraun et @corentincanesson.
Habitué des visites de musées particulièrement d’art contemporain j’ai trouvé cet inventaire d’œuvres très accessible car très majoritairement composé d’oeuvres peintes (et sans les installations hétéroclites habituellement du pseudo art contemporain).
C’est superbe et très à mon goût. Bravo.
(Translated by Google) A beautiful place with a rich collection of works! Hurry and go before it closes for 3 years of renovations.

Nestled at the picturesque port de pêche, Le Quai des Saveurs is a culinary gem that promises an unforgettable dining experience. This chic and elegant establishment showcases a menu brimming with originality, where each dish is not only visually stunning but also bursting with flavor. Guests rave about the delightful use of local ingredients, expertly crafted into refined meals that tantalize the taste buds. The warm and professional service provided by Estelle and her team adds to the inviting atmosphere, making every visit feel special.
A fabulous culinary journey worthy of a Michelin star.
We appreciated the creativity of the dishes, the precision of the cooking and the flavors in the mouth.
From starter to dessert, a very good time with smiling staff.
I highly recommend this experience for lovers of high-end gastronomy.

I took my wife here for a long deserved romantic meal. I got recommended this place by a few different friends. It exceeded our expectations. Great food, great service and lots of extra treats. Much better than a lot of other restaurants which claim to have more accolades. Definitly recommended by us :)
The food was delicious and really well presented. We really enjoyed the menu and wine selections. The Neige de feta de chèvre et brebis etc. was very salty and we weren’t sure whether this dish should have occurred earlier in the menu because it was a surprise after the beef plate, where we were expecting something sweeter. The ambiance was relatively quiet and it was very easy to have a conversation. The place settings, cutlery, glasses, napkins etc. were perfect (no marks on glasses etc.). Finally, the team were incredibly helpful (charitable!) and tolerated our ‘bad’ French incredibly well and did their best to explain all the dishes to us. Overall, a really lovely experience.
Outstanding meal at Lea Quai des Sauvers - one of the best meals I have had for years. The chef Maxime and his team display true genius in combining so many wonderful flavours in each dish. The red mullet fish had a wonderful piqancy and the basil meringue interlude was incredibly interesting. The service was fantastic and really relaxed. We had a wonderful evening - thank you very much.
Wow this restaurant deserves a star. The food was some of the best I have eaten around the world. Perfectly balanced. The wine pairing was also excellent, on two dishes first taste of the wine I questioned why, then the food arive and the two together were a perfect match made in heaven. Bravo we will be back. Chef and your beautiful wife who was front of house have a beautiful restaurant excellent food and service 🤩.
Wow! This restaurant is fabulous. The welcome was lovely (including a phone call beforehand to warn us the parking was difficult), the restaurant itself is beautiful but not at all pretentious and the food was simply amazing. The best meal we have had in a very long time. The price was reasonable which made the evening all the more pleasant! We had a wonderful evening there and I would heartily recommend this restaurant.
Excellent restaurant, food, service and choice of wines all a cut above the rest. Intimate atmosphere, maybe better suited to evenings as there's no outdoor seating. But a great experience. Will be going back soon.
A truly remarkable, complex and subtle meal with many components to it. The three course meal actually included additional pre and post courses. I highly recommend this restaurant

Pet store
Maxi Zoo Château d'Olonne is a pet store chain that provides a wide range of food products, equipment, and accessories for animals. Conveniently located within walking distance from the beach "Tanchet" and the boulevard in Les Sables, it offers everything your pets may need. Customers have praised the helpful and pleasant staff who are ready to assist with advice and recommendations for pet care.
(Translated by Google) Having visited this store, which is far from our home, twice (on the way to and from our trip), we were greeted by two different employees who took their time in dealing with our problem with our dog and appeared to be "good technicians." We followed their advice, which guided our purchase. Availability, friendliness, and competence have earned me this 5* rating.

All your needs for you pets. Helpful staff.
(Translated by Google) We came with our little dog, Tina. We're not used to this store as we live over 700 km away. We came because our baby broke her harness during our stay in Les Sables-d'Olonne.
A warm welcome and excellent advice. And we met salespeople who are passionate about animals and not just about their sales figures. Our baby even left with a little treat. In addition to the ones she bought.
Our babies are treated like royalty.
Thank you again for your welcome and your expertise.
We were able to finish our stay peacefully and, above all, take her with us everywhere.
All the best to you.

Nos bébés sont reçus comme des rois.
Merci encore pour votre accueil et votre savoir faire.
Nous avons pu finir notre séjour tranquillement et surtout l'emmener avec nous partout.
Belle continuation à vous.

The Les Jardins de Compostelle garden is a visually appealing and peaceful park, adorned with a variety of beautiful and diverse flowers that create an enchanting mix of colors. The presence of fountains enhances the tranquility of the surroundings. Each plant is conveniently labeled with a small sign, allowing visitors to easily identify and appreciate the different species. The garden offers breathtaking views of the lake situated below, providing a serene backdrop for relaxation. One may even encounter wildlife such as ducks during their visit.

We are a little out of season but were lucky enough to still see flowers, butterflies and dragonflies.

Thanks to the city for making this place free and well done for the maintenance.

There is no shortage of parking spaces on the site. The park invites the visitor to relax and calm. We will notice several sequences of gardens evoking Moorish gardens with mosaics or olive trees.

Très beau parc sur Trizay avec de belles vues plongeantes sur le lac du Bois fleuri en contrebas. Il est gratuit et l'accès se fait par un tourniquet. Les places de parking ne manque pas sur le site.

Les chardons sont plus haut que les rosiers...heureusement la pelouse est tondue..
(Translated by Google) As several reviews have already indicated, the shine has worn off. With a little imagination you can imagine what the garden looked like when it was well maintained.
The water was green, but there were still goldfish swimming in the water. All fountains were turned off.
The beginning part you walk under the trees and there are some statues. The further you walk you enter the garden area, it is beautifully landscaped, just a bit dilapidated.
* It's swarming with mosquitoes.
(Original)
Zoals meerdere reviews al aangeven is de glans er wel van af. Met wat fantasie kun je je nog wel inbeelden hoe de tuin er uitzag toen het nog wel goed werd bijgehouden.
Het water was groen, wel zwommen er nog goudvissen in het water. Alle fonteins stonden uit.
Het begin stuk loop je onder de bomen en staan er wat beelden. Hoe verder je loopt kom je in het tuin gedeelte, het is mooi aangelegd, alleen wat vervallen.
* Het stikt er van de muggen.
(Translated by Google) Really disappointed, the garden is neglected. The tall grass is taking over, to the detriment of the flowers. I hope the fish are still being fed.

Hamburger restaurant
Le Reef is a casual eatery with a terrace overlooking the sea. They offer burgers, salads, and steak, along with beer and snacks. The prices are reasonable for the quality provided. The portions are generous, and the staff is friendly. The restaurant offers a wide selection of locally crafted beers and healthy burger alternatives. They also have daily suggestions and specialties to choose from. The atmosphere is fancy yet quiet, making it an ideal spot in town.
Best place in the Town , Best burger ever! Love how all of the burgers can be made vegetarian as we were all non meat eaters. The cocktails and dessert was excellent as well. Definitely a favorite restaurant, we will always be coming back! Merci 🙏🏻Just had dinner there with my parents and brother and I can say it was a success. I did some research before choosing this place, and boy are we all happy (and we are difficult to please in matters regarding food hahaha).
First of all the location is perfect. It is in front of the beach Des Sables d'Olonne and you can eat watching the ocean.
The place itself is nice without overdoing it and reflects the charisma and quality that work there. Only thing I can think of is it can get a bit hot inside.
The service was just impeccable, from the ordering, wine selection, cleaning after until our leave.
The food...was simply incredible. They have 3 main menus at 18, 30, and 42euros and all of them will adapt to what price and experience you are willing to have/take. All of them have at least 3 dishes to choose from the different parts of the menu.
They also have a special degustation menu if you want to try their best dishes. It's 56 euros that is basically a menu that everyone shares (since you all eat from the same base, you all have to pay the same price).
The drinks are paid apart from the menu.
We all tried the different plates from the 30€ menu and it was exquisite. I highly recommend the foie gras or salade langoustine as first. The cocotte, or lamb, or tuna as main, and the chocolate fondant as desert. These were the great winners for us but both the taste, textures, portions, etc of every dish were above average.
I highly recommend this place if you enjoy high quality food, and don't want to or can't spend over 70€ to eat gourmet food with small portions of food. The quality and freshness you will get here is worth it.
I'm attaching photos of this place and near by palaces also you may check it out..
Hope this was helpful, cheers all, and peace out.

Probably the best burger I've had in france. Great place for an evening with really lovely friendly staff. Would highly recommend the mix super starter to share as not worth missing out on the other choices. Great cocktails too!!!!
Best quality for price ever for a burger!
Generous portions, creative burgers and very friendly staff.
This restaurant has everything you’ve ever wanted: large choice of local crafted beers, healthy alternatives to burgers, daily suggestions and specialties.
All of this in a fancy atmosphere at a nice and quiet spot in town.
The burgers are great! I was there on a saturday at 19:00 and they told me we had 1 hour to eat due to reservations. We had enough time but I don't like a time limit.
Best Burgers in Town! - English menu card available.
Hmm overall it was good, but it could have been better.
Don't rush people when they are eating by asking them if they have finished or not... while you can see that they still have food ob their plates...
And if a customer ask for an XL burger just bring him an XL burger, it's proposed in the menu for a reason, don't advice and try to convince the customer to take the normal one cause one may need/like to eat more than the others 🤗 you are just embarrassing him/her for no reason..
Best burger ever! Love how all of the burgers can be made vegetarian as we were all non meat eaters. The cocktails and dessert was excellent as well. Definitely a favorite restaurant, we will always be coming back! Merci 🙏🏻
Got one of the nicest salads ever here.

Les Régates is a charming seaside restaurant that offers a delightful dining experience in Les Sables d'Olonne. After a long drive, we were thrilled to find this gem still serving food late on a Sunday night. Despite its elegant appearance with white tablecloths, the atmosphere is relaxed and prices are reasonable. The service was warm and efficient, making us feel right at home.
This restaurant was amazing! Hard to find, for some reason, but great food, great ambiance and the staff we're wonderful.
Had eaten there last year and their desserts we're gigantic and filling as well. The burger I had ordered was perfectly cooked, well seasoned and the fries we're just a little undercooked but the burger made up for it. The mussels that my husband and mom ordered we're excellent.
Job well done, thank you team Regates!

Excellent food excellent service served very quick for how busy this restaurant was , sea views yes I would love to go back .
Popped into here for lunch while visiting Sables d’Olonne. Friendly staff, generously sized portions and kid friendly.
After 9h drive we arrived to Les Sables D'olonne. Me and my partner both starving and trying to find a restaurant that would still serve food on Sunday night after 9pm.
This place looks outside littlebit too fancy for my taste with the white table clots right next to the ocean, but it is actually really chill and reasonably priced. We were greeted with a warm smile, fast service and polite waiter.
Salty crep gets 5/5, traditional burger wasnt anything special 3/5.
Lovely spot, waiter was excellent, very polite, wine was a local red, really nice, Mareuil. Crepes were lovely, and the view priceless, look forward to returning.
Good food. Food price. Good service
Very nice and cozy place. Fresh seafood and great service.
Lovely restaurant by the sea side , Nice staff very good food.

We had dinner at this restaurant during the Fête de la Musique and chose to sit on the terrace. The ambiance was truly delightful—right by the beach, with live music playing just in front of the restaurant, adding a charming touch to the evening. Despite the high volume of guests and fully occupied tables troughout the night, the service was impressive. The staff managed everything efficiently and with great professionalism.
I ordered the "poisson du jour" which was a filet de bar, perfectly complemented by a beurre nantaise sauce. It was flavorful and well prepared. For dessert I had the tiramisu—light, generously proportioned, and absolutely delicious. We were a group of 4, and everyone at the table was very satisfied with both the food (they got burgers) and the overall experience.
Great views, good bier and friendly service!
We arrived announced and after waiting for a few minutes, we managed to get a table of 6 despite them being busy, mostly thanks to a young runner (not a waitress) called Lea who was a delight and very helpful. The dirst waitress wasn't able to give us an indication of waiting time but Lea saw us and set a table quickly for us. We asked her to be our waitress despite her not being a waitress and she did very well. She pushed our kids food order quickly so they didnt have to wait. The restaurant is well located and has a variety of dishes to please everyone. The cherry on the cake was really the service which was great, after experiencing many waiters not that interested in earning that extra tip.
Our mussels were very very salty though, not sure why it happened but the rest was great. (the creme brûlé was over done though but the banana split was a delight).
Do spend that extra tip to show good waiters they are doing a great job when they are! Lea should be promoted to waiter position as she knew the menu well and was able to advise on the different dishes and take our order efficiently. Well done for overall great service. Will definitely return.
Location and view of the beach is great. Food is just ok. Service is slow. Food arrived after 40 minutes.
Great location and food. The staff were amazing. Despite being very busy they were helpful and cheerful. Highly recommended.
Absolutely brilliant - fast check pass sanitaire - really good menu with very reasonable price - friendly and accommodating and clean bathroom. Lovely view.
Lovely sea front view. Great mussels and chips!

(Translated by Google) I really appreciated this mass, often for funerals there is only one blessing.
Thanks to you
(Original)
J'ai beaucoup apprécié cette messe , souvent pour des obsèques il n'y a qu'une bénédiction.
Merci à vous
(Translated by Google) A very beautiful church, a beautiful community where we are well received, masses with people and a nice atmosphere, especially family masses.
(Original)
Une très belle église, une belle communauté où l'on est bien accueilli, des messes avec du monde et une ambiance sympas, surtout les messes de famille.
(Translated by Google) Magnificent church in the city center, disabled access, magnificent works, a grandiose altar, truly worth seeing
(Original)
Magnifique église en plein centre ville, accès handicapé,de magnifiques œuvres,un autel grandiose, vraiment à voir
(Translated by Google) Very beautiful church
(Original)
Très belle eglise
(Translated by Google) The architecture is quite curious, because the building is "drowned" in all the buildings that surround it. Which means that from a distance, you can clearly see its very typical bell tower, but in the street you could almost pass by without seeing it, if it weren't for the columns which mark the entrance.
The interior gives off an impression of space, with beautiful proportions. A fresco of Saints surrounds the altar, but the ongoing restoration partially obscures it. Note at the top of the vault a painting illustrating the Trinitarian God which is found in works of theology but rarely in decorative art (see photo)
(Original)
L'architecture est assez curieuse, car la bâtisse est "noyée" dans l'ensemble des bâtiments qui l'entourent. Ce qui fait que de loin, on voit bien son clocher très typique, mais dans la rue on pourrait presque passer devant sans la voir, si ce n'était les colonnes qui en marquent l'entrée.
L'intérieur dégage une impression d'espace, avec de belles proportions. Une fresque de Saints entoure l'autel, mais la restauration en cours la masque partiellement. A noter au sommet de la voute une peinture illustrant le Dieu trinitaire qu'on retrouve dans les ouvrages de théologie mais rarement en art décoratif (voir photo)

Village vendée globe

Village Vendée Globe offers a glimpse into the life of a Vendee village in the 1900s. Visitors can explore exhibits, stroll past mascots, and admire beautiful boats at the pontoon. The volunteers are kind and welcoming, adding to the pleasant atmosphere. The IMoca boats and sponsorship stands are particularly impressive, although long queues may be expected during peak times such as public holidays. Overall, it's an excellent experience with very good boats on display.
The best place to see the boats before and after this legendary race, to meet skippers and learn everything on this must-see event for all those who love the sea and sailing !
Vincent G — Google review
I liked the vendee globe village because the imoca boats were cool and the sponsorship stand things are cool but we went a second time and the queue looked bloody massive probably because of public holleday
Amazing experience. To see the boats, feel the atmosphere. Very good organized.
(Translated by Google) Organization to be reviewed and aggressive traders, particularly at the Ouest France stand.
It is possible to book to get there but there are so many people at the departure village that even with this reservation, it is impossible to get in. It's a shame.
The arrival village is much quieter, we can return there so there are not too many people.
On the other hand, do not approach the Ouest France stand with dishonest traders who try by all means possible to get you to subscribe to their offer even if it means lying! Once you refuse they dare to complain that we wasted their time!
(Original)
Organisation à revoir et des commerçants agressifs notamment au stand Ouest France.
Il est possible de réserver pour s'y rendre mais l'affluence est tellement forte au village départ que même avec cette réservation, impossible de rentrer.. C'est un comble.
Le village d'arrivée est beaucoup plus tranquille, on peut rentrer comme ça il n'y a pas trop de monde.
En revanche ne vous approchez pas du stand Ouest France avec des commerçants malhonnêtes qui essaient par tous les moyens possibles de vous faire souscrire à leur offre quitte a mentir ! Une fois que vous refuser ils osent se plaindre qu'on leurs a fait perdre leur temps !
(Translated by Google) A popular event. Even a little too popular to get to the pontoon and see the boats. There are also a lot of people in the village, which doesn't allow you to enjoy every moment. But the magic of the Vendée Globe is felt once you're there.
(Original)
Un événement populaire. Même un peu trop pour se rendre sur le ponton et y voir les bateaux. Beaucoup de monde aussi dans le village ce qui ne permet pas de profiter de chaque instant. Mais la magie du Vendée Globe se ressent une fois sur place
(Translated by Google) Reservation required (free) online to be able to enter.
Ideally you should look at the schedule to know when there are fewer people.
There is a lot of queues on site but there is something for everyone.
Bring a bag for posters and goodies.
The tour of the pontoons is possible but long, we see the boats at the quay, sometimes the skippers (their reproduction at a minimum).
(Original)
Réservation obligatoire (gratuite) en ligne pour pouvoir rentrer.
Idéalement il faut regarder les planning pour savoir quand il y a moins de monde.
Sur place on fait bcp la queue mais il y en a pour tous les goûts.
Prévoir un sac pour les affiches et goodies.
Le tour des pontons est possible mais long, on voit les bateaux à quai, parfois les skippers (leur reproduction à minima).
(Translated by Google) What a success, great enthusiasm from the public, we see the boats up close, we visit the stands and the activities. 2 hours of queuing in a good mood. The entrance is just an 8m walk from the Sncf station, convenient!
(Original)
Quel succès, bel engouement du public, on voit les bateaux de près, on visite les stands et les animations. 2h de queue dans la bonne humeur. L'entrée est juste à 8m à pied de la gare Sncf, pratique !
(Translated by Google) Last place in free parking, shuttles taken and yes waiting to access the pontoons but the event is well known now so obviously there are people. Many volunteers to guide us and yes we can really see the boats well after this wait!
(Original)
Dernière place sur parking gratuit navettes prises et oui attente pour accéder aux pontons mais l’événement est bien connu maintenant donc évidemment il y a du monde. De nombreux bénévoles pour nous guider et oui on peut vraiment bien voir les bateaux après cette attente!

Pizza restaurant
La Fringale is a small eatery operated by the friendly Charlotte and Yassine. They offer a variety of delectable pizzas for takeout, all equally delicious. The pizzas are generously topped with fresh ingredients on crispy dough, resulting in a satisfying dining experience. The establishment is known for its large-sized pizzas and their boss, who ensures quality.
One of the best little hidden gems of this beautiful little town. Very dog friendly owner loves dogs and you feel like you’re eating at somebody’s home. You’ve known your whole life when you go here. Food is delicious and the staff is so friendly and attentive.
Thomas N — Google review
A hidden gem in Les Sables. The pizzas are perfectly sized, absolutely delicious and light as a feather.
Service is friendly and spot on, and excellent wines are available by the glass, carafe and bottle.
Highly recommended
Its tucked away down a street off the main. Promenade so you wouldn't necessarily see it. We went here as a last resort as all the other Restaurants were booked due to it being the night of the Vendee Globe procession. We were lad we did though, they fitted us in despite being busy. The Pizzas were delightful and the staff were lovely. Special mention for the pizza which has a carrot and cumin rather than tomato base, most unusual but it works brilliantly 👏🏼
Very nice service staff and the sitout on the roadside is not the best but was OK.
The Pizza was a bit on the fat side.
I had a vegetarian Pizza missed the greens on it.
Asparagus was a nice touch though.
For service and friendliness *top* Place
Lovely young people.
Credit to you all.
Great pizza.
Thank you.
Cozy, great & friendly service and the pizzas, wow… 10/10
Nice place. Excellent pizza . Friendly operation.
Best pizza in sables hands down. Go for the 4formagi and estivale. Basic restaurant but excellent.

Seafood restaurant
Fish restaurant
Restaurant La Cotriade Les Sables d'Olonne is a relaxed establishment with stunning views of the harbor. It offers generous seafood platters and other fish dishes, accompanied by a selection of wine. The majority of the plates are expertly prepared, showcasing the high-quality seafood. However, there was one dish that was undercooked initially but promptly rectified in the kitchen to an acceptable level. Complementing the seafood are delicious side dishes, particularly the vegetables that perfectly complemented their counterparts.
My first time in the city, and I couldn’t have picked a better restaurant! The service was excellent, and the food was amazing—especially the fresh seafood. I’ll definitely be back when I’m in town again!
Sneha T — Google review
First night in France and the fish was incredible. Added bonus of watching the staff prepare and filet the seafood was a treat. All beautifully prepared and tasted delicious
Excellent food and exceptional service!!!
We had a unique evening: the dishes and desserts were simply fantastic! A huge thank you to the entire restaurant team for their hard work!!!
Scrumptious, finger licking food! Amazing service, fair prices, and a truly great restaurant!
PS:
Thanks for the team for being extra careful not to serve us anything with alcohol, they were very accommodating and made modifications to our likings.
They also were careful and double checked not to serve us anything with alcohol/cooked in it😊
The top seafood restaurant in Les Sables D’Olonne. Ultra fresh fish and shellfish direct from the harbour opposite prepared in the open kitchen. Great, friendly service. A must visit.
The family run fish restaurant was excellent, the food and service matched this. The menu was explained to us in detail as there are various combinations of duo fish options we just needed clarification. The only reason for the loss of one star on atmosphere was because we were out of season and the restaurant was half full.
We had a wonderful seafood dinner. Food, service and atmosphere were excellent. It’s laid back but great quality.
Great seafood, super fresh, wonderful wine, nice team, beautiful setting. Only thing we were not so impressed with were the desserts.

This has been a highlight. Quick meal for the family, eaten by the beach. Tasty and been a favourite for us all!
Excellent burgers and fries!
Top !
(Translated by Google) On vacation in the region, we stopped by Blot for an evening meal with the two children: they loved their little boxes with fries and sausages (already cut, very handy!). For mom it was cheese burger, classic, but with good ingredients. I really recommend it, we had a great time and the staff are smiling and helpful!

(Translated by Google) Fries cooked and recooked, when they came out of the fryer, the fries formed a large block. We paid and let it be known that the fries were inedible, but no reaction. We left without fries, without a refund and we were not even offered freshly made fries... So service: zero!
(Original)
Frites cuites et recuites, en sortant de la friteuse, les frites formées un gros bloc. Nous avons payé et avons fait savoir que les frites étaient immangeables, mais aucune réaction.

(Translated by Google) What can I say... The double cheese: I'm still looking for the cheese. 2 steaks between 2 buns with mayo and salad. No pickles either, even though it's noted in the recipe. On the other hand, the meat is good and the fries very good.

Que dire... Le double cheese: je cherche encore le cheese. 2 steak entre 2 pains avec de la mayo et de la salade. Pas de pickles non plus alors que c'est noté dans la recette. Par contre la viande est bonne et les frites très bonnes.
