A good day out only takes about 90 minutes to go around the castle we went on a Tuesday and there was a craft market in one of the town car parks

A relatively small castle but interesting with wonderful views from the top. The neighbouring church of Saint Philbert is also well worth visiting.

Well worth paying to get in to see the castle interior. The museum displays are excellent! It’s great to just walk around the castle courtyard.

We visited the inner courtyard as the main keep was unfortunately closed at the time we visited. Used Google translate to read the visitor noticeboards and found the references to HMSMaidstone very interesting.

It is a nice place to visit. Kid friendly and takes about an hour to go around. There are interesting exhibits and of course the building itself is also worth seeing. From the top there is an excellent view of the island. The castle is close to the town center which allows shopping and dining very close by and in a short walk there is the port, which is also worth seeing.

Lovely place to visit especially for the view at the top. The castle and the islands history is told throughout. I don't speak very good French but I did understand what happened there. It was nice to have a history lesson of this part of the beautiful France.

You can not go in with dogs but nice to enjoy a game of chess in the courtyard

Very small aquarium. We didn't even get to stay for a full hour. Vendee aquarium is much better and for the same price and children can easily spend two hours exploring there. Girl on the ticket desk was very rude which didn't start our experience off good

Nice little aquarium with range of fish etc... Bit different from other places in so much that they have seals which are a bit different. Worth a trip of on area and have kids. Ideal for rainy day

This is a complete fraud! The aquarium is very small and the entrance fee is way to high with 13 euro's for an adult and 10 euro's for a kid. Scandalous!!!

It's a local aquarium with many different fishes, common and tropical. They also have two sea lions for a show.

Over priced for the experience. Plus all the larger animals, sea lions, turtles and sharks appear very unhappy in small enclosures.

Ideal for with small kids because it is not very big but still has a nice collection of animals

Very expensive for the size. If going make sure to see the sea lion show and it makes up for the price.

This is fun for adult and children of all ages. We have been more times than I can count. Kids spend most of their time either diving into the deep end of the pool or on the crazy river. Followed up by a giant chocolate waffle. Would definitely recommend that you check it out!

When my two children pleaded with me to visit Océanile I was unsure if the €100 entry for the four of us (children over 11 are classed as adults) would prove good value for money. My fears were unfounded. We arrived around 1030 shortly after opening (I wouldn't advise arriving later if getting a sunbed is important to you) and found sunbeds before heading toward the rides. There are only around 8 different rides but they are all really good. Three use inflatables and one is a toboggan ride. During peak times there is some queuing – the inflatables in particular – but nothing too arduous. I managed around 35 rides during my visit but my children probably did double that! Picnics are allowed and I would advise popping to the Super U next door and filling a cool bag/box as the on-site prices for food and drink are steep (€2.50 for a 330ml can of Coke). There is a charming separate pool for under 8s and an indoor pool for swimming (and another ride which I didn't go on) too. We stayed all day and even then, leaving was such a wrench we visited again a week later. Well recommended.

This AMAZING water park is the BEST water park i have ever been too. it deserves 5 stars i just lovvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvveeeeeeeee it sooooo much! you all must go here people ;) i went on every slide her and in every pool and it was paradise! my favorite is the wave pool and the tunnel slide! i am going here again this summer and i just cant Waite! this is truly the best water park.....

Be careful when you go here because: 1. I dived in the water and scraped my chest on the stoney concrete 2. Because I was here all day, the skin on the bottom of my feet was soft, so walking on the stoney concrete ripped the bottom of my toes and they bled quite a lot

Could do with updating, floors of pools, very rough etc, river Rapids great fun, with flooring very smooth, great with group all going down together, had great day.

For 21 to 26 euros per person it is not very big. There is a few good rides. But as I have said not worth the amount you pay.

Great family day out. Just get there early if you want a sunbed.although we sat happily on the grass

Quaint island, fresh food, nice people, lovely place.

We always enjoy our 3 week long visits to the island, it's just perfect for our needs!

A sparkling coastal village.. The light is noticably clear (wear sunglasses). Access to the beach and a tucked away little drop-in, open air wine bar that makes it's own daily pizzas..and great pastries! On the beach road but you'll have to look!

This island is Magic...

Very pretty island,not too crowdy and...only spotted a view NL plates ;-)

Fantastic place. Very growded during summer holidays. Poor road/traffic control with too little focus on all the thousands of bicycle's navigating the island.

Lovely island. Good marina.

Absolutely worth a visit! Now all booths in the market also show the prices, which makes it much more comfortable to shop. Recommend taking lunch in Nourmoutier after the market.

Top quality seafood, meat products, cheese and vegetables.

Early morning to do fresh foods marketing on tuesday .

Open market 3 days per week on summer time's

Great market. Lots on offer. Salt, honey, fish, meat, baskets, clothes etc.

Excellent

A good French market, good food stalls in the inside market. Usual selection of stalls outside.

Nice site, great location, was in our own caravan, so can't comment on the rooms. Staff friendly and pleasant to deal with. I wasn't keen on the pitch allocated on arrival, nothing bad about it, but coming from England, we spend most of our lives in the shade,so not keen on a shady pitch on holiday. Anyhows, was given a sunny pitch and all sorted, nice people would visit again. Weather wasn't great, but even the great Huttopia Gods can't control that, so to sum up, if you're heading that way, go here👍 Peace and Love Bernard.

We had a wonderful stay right on the beach. Campsite we cleans and well run. A perfect location to explore the island with bikes hired from the site. Easy ride I to town which is beautiful. Would certainly return.

Nice beachfront pitches, though the beach at high tide is non existent. It's quite cramped and there's no privacy between pitches. The worst thing is the toilets and showers, they both smell like a urinal at a train station and there are sewer smells from the shower plumbing. Each time I went to shower there was a queue so clearly not enough facilities and not cleaned often enough which is just unacceptable for a decent campsite. It was also terribly noisy the first night we arrived with a club night going on elsewhere until 3am. Noirmoutier is however a nice area, though there is alot of dog poo left on the side of paths and the beaches, and at the campsite too, seems it isn't important to clean up after your dog here, there are no dog poo bins.

This is a massive campsite but it doesn’t feel like it as it ranges along the beach in two directions from the reception. Signposting is not good to the site from the town and on arrival there is not much space to park up when checking in. Car parking affects the accessibility of towing in and out of the site which can be very tight if large vehicles are parked close to the barriers. Otherwise fabulous site with good facilities which can be stretched in high season. Easy access to the beach. Good cycling from the site.

Lovely location on the more sheltered side of Noirmoutier. Our pitch was lovely and shady and close to the bathroom block without being on top of it. The situation is amazing - having a great beach on your doorstep was awesome. The bar/cafe did good pizzas and brilliant ice lollies, the bike hire was so convenient and the reception staff very helpful. However. The pitches are too small. Once we’d put up the tent on the flat bit (there are slight undulations under the trees) we couldn’t also park the car on pitch so had to park at the main entrance, where there aren’t enough spaces so ended up parking up the road a couple of times. We didn’t mind the walk to the main entrance but parking off site was a pain. It seems the pitches are sized for campervans rather than tents. Your neighbours are close, so if they smoke you’ll know about it, and if you have a particularly loud child they’ll know about that too.

We had a fabulous holiday at Huttopia, Noirmoutier. The location is beyond wonderful. We could see the beach and the sea from our pitch and were lulled to sleep by the waves each night. The facilities were well maintained and always clean. The staff were friendly and welcoming. We will be back.

Great camping if you have a beachfront spot. We had an ocean-view pitch, which was fantastic. The rest of the campsite is very large and feels overcrowded — it’s clear they want to maximize the number of spots, making it very busy. The main road through the site is like a highway, with pedestrians, bicycles, and cars all mixed together. There also aren’t enough showers and toilets, so we often had to wait. On top of that, a few showers were clogged during our stay, causing bad smells — not pleasant.

Peaceful, calm clear water, golden sand

Nice beach on NE side of Noirmoutier. Kitesurf allowed in October to April

Nice cosy French beach with good cappucino and tasty crêpes

Offer good swimming lessons in a pool on the beach

Beach can get really small when the tide is high

Cool.

Really nice place, perfect outside area for the sunset, the food is amazing and the staff is really friendly. In short, you must go!

Lovely little place. Thay had stopped serving food when got there, but the staff rustled up some cheese and charcuterie boards for us.

Value for money, lovely hake and tasty veal. Nice ambiance, cosy and authentic

Delicious and great staff!

(Translated by Google) Small restaurant very well located. On the food side, a very affordable menu that changes every day and is very well cooked! Smiling and friendly service and very nice flea market style decor! I advise you to make a reservation because it is a small establishment in high demand. (Original) Petit restaurant très bien situé. Côté food un menu très abordable qui change tout les jours et très bien cuisiné ! Service souriant et sympathique et décor style brocante tres sympa ! Je vous conseillé de réserver car c'est un petit établissement très demandé.

(Translated by Google) We shared a very good time in this restaurant. The waitress (Aude) was friendly and helpful and the menu was delicious for a reasonable price. I recommend this address if you go to Noirmoutier. (Original) Nous avons partagé un trés bon moment dans ce restaurant.

(Translated by Google) Very good cuisine, fresh and quality products, perfect service, thank you for your welcome! (Original) Très bonne cuisine, produits frais et de qualité, service parfait, merci pour votre accueil !

Had coffee and cake here. Coffee was very nice and could order a maxi one so wasn’t just a mouthful. Cakes were very good kids loved the smoothies.

I can’t rate this place high enough. Particularly the owner’s son who helped us book a table for our evening meal - service that goes above and beyond. We had a couple of coffees and some pastries. The coffee and tea were the nicest we’ve had so far in Noirmoutier. The pastries were among the nicest I have ever had! They are made by the owner on site. I don’t know the names so I will butcher a description. There was a crème/custard slice with a caramel and fruit topping, the custard was light and the caramel flavours were beautifully balanced. The custard tart was perfect. The puff pastry swirls disappeared too fast.

Good and well located in the city. Cakes are homemade and local. And there is AC. Super!

Amazingly delicious bruno cake!! Loved our matcha and chai lattes. We'll be back, thanks !

The perfect place for tea or coffee with a slice of cake after your market. Brittany recipes including far, kouignaman and other good treats. Music atmosphere is more than ok. Sit, relax, flick through the newspapers. Life is just a dream.

Totally the best coffee in Noirmoutier and brilliant homemade breton pastries as well. Hard to decide whether the Kouing Aman or the caramel tarts are better they're both so yummy!

We always visit here when we are in Noirmoutier. A warm welcome, *proper* coffees and the most delicious and unique little cakes which you can also take away (put in a bulk order!)!! Thank you NoMad, you are great!

Excellent food! Top service, we felt welcomed and we were attended to with a smile throughout the meal. We went for Sunday lunch. You must call and book if you don't want to risk being turned down. They were fully booked when we went, and that was out of the high season.

Best ever Sole in olive oil variant from the meuniere; delicate spiced withe sage and green lime. Excellent seafood platter to start. Unassuming dining room; but service and food are top.

Delicious fine dining. Kids meal was also outstanding. Definitely one of the best restaurant on the island. Service was professional and efficient. We tried both menu options and both the fish and lamb dishes were outstanding the same goes for the desserts - all beautifully prepared and incredibly tasty. Highly recommended.

A charming place with lovely views in the heart of the marshes on this Island. Local seafood. Make sure you book it in advance in July and August.

Very nice place with gastronomic food. Very fresh seafood. Amazing desert. Great experience overall.

Excellent restaurant

Great seafood, good service. The atmosphere is relaxing, and the location is very good

Expensive and rude staff. The view was nice though

Super!!!

(Translated by Google) Pentecost weekend, tourist restaurant very disappointed by the dishes given the high prices!! 60 euros for 2 without aperitif, starter or coffee!! Basic Ocean salad (photo), sea casserole (photo) too salty for my taste and above all, seafood with sand (supporting photo), tiramisu without much taste, decent chocolate mousse!!! The boss at the cash register didn't even ask us how our meal went, just a checkout and a happy Sunday!! Fortunately friendly servers, sun and sea view to save this shipwreck after several months of closure!!!! (Original) Week-end de la pentecôte, restaurant touristique très déçu par les plats vu le tarifs élevés !! 60 euros à 2 sans apéritif ni entrée ni café !! Salade Océane basique (photo) , cocotte de la mer (photo) trop salée à mon goût et surtout, fruits de mer avec du sable (photo à l'appui) , tiramisu sans trop de goût, mousse au chocolat correcte !!! La patronne à la caisse ne nous a même pas demandé comment s'était passé notre repas , juste un encaissement et un bon dimanche de souhaité !! Heureusement serveurs aimables, soleil et vue sur mer pour sauver ce nauffrage après plusieurs mois de fermeture !!!!

(Translated by Google) Very friendly and attentive waiter and waitresses. Very pleasant setting. Very “cheap” charcuterie board as an aperitif. The carpaccio was very good and well seasoned. The Oceane salad lacks flavor and is a little oily for my taste. We would have to see if we could improve the vinaigrette and add some herbs. Dishes a little expensive for the quality but you surely have to pay for the location on the ladies' beach. The toilets could do with a little refurbishment this winter. So if you want to eat decent food while admiring the sea, you can go there😉 (Original) Serveur et serveuses très sympathiques et attentifs. Cadre très agréable. Planche de charcuterie à l'apéro très "bon marché". Le carpaccio était très bon et bien assaisonné. La salade Oceane manque de saveur et est un peu grasse a mon gout il faudrait voir pour améliorer la vinaigrette et ajouter quelques aromates. Plats un peu cher pour la qualité mais on doit sûrement payer l'emplacement sur la plage des dames. Les sanitaires mériteraient un petit coup de remise à neuf cet hiver. Donc si vous voulez manger des plats correctes tout en admirant la mer, vous pouvez y aller😉

(Translated by Google) Great restaurant! We were looking for a restaurant with a sea view and we were not disappointed! Great view, very pleasant staff, fast and always there to serve us. The fish rillettes are excellent, the mussels are very good and well cooked and the fries are delicious. Very good time at the red sail! (Original) Super restaurant ! Nous cherchions un restaurant avec vue mer et nous avons pas été déçus ! Super vue, personnel très agréable, rapide et toujours la pour nous servir. Les rillettes de poissons sont excellentes, les moules très bonnes et bien cuites et les frites sont delicieuses. Très bon moment à la voile rouge !

(Translated by Google) The view from the terrace is superb. My formula of the day based on pancakes is good and plentiful. Friendly service. (Original) La vue en terrasse est superbe. Ma formule du jour à base de galettes est bonne et copieuse. Service convivial.
