Camping in Les Sables d'Olonne, Vendee, Western France
Les Sables d'Olonne lies near to Talmont St Hilaire mid way between St Jean de Monts and La Tranche sur Mer, one of the most southerly towns in the Vendee. It is one of the larger towns in the region but still retains a certain charm of it's own.
Camping Le Littoral is located in Les Sables d'Olonne and located close to the beach, is ideal for those looking for a lively family holiday.
There is plenty here to amuse the whole family including an outdoor and covered pool as well as the popular bar and restaurant. Much of the daily entertainment is centred around these areas in high season.
Leading directly from Camping Le Littoral is a path which takes you down to a rocky cove and pebbly beach - great for searching for shellfish! The nearest sandy beach is around a mile away.
In high season, there is a free bus service which runs between the campsite, beach and the centre of Les Sables d'Olonne.
Les Sables d'Olonne is arguably one of the easiest resorts on the western coast to get to - they are all easy but if you are travelling the longest route from Calais then all you have to do is to get onto the A 16 autoroute and follow signs for the larger towns and cities like Rouen, Le Mans, Angers, Cholet and finally Les Sables.
From Le Havre and Caen it's easier still, and quicker too, so just follow signs for Le Mans, Angers, Cholet and Les Sables. Better still is the trip from St Malo which has to be the ferry port of choice for anyone taking holidays on the western coast of France. From there you just head straight down the page to Rennes, Nantes and La Roche sur Yon before entering Les Sables d'Olonne. A tip here for those navigating Nantes from the north; you need to get onto the Nantes peripherique (ring road) for which you will pick up a sign 4 km before the turn off. Follow signs for Bordeaux and this will take you round the peripherique where you need to exit at junction 48 and follow Bordeaux/La Roche signs. Once in La Roche you will pick up signs for Les Sables d'Olonne.
