Camping near Notre Dame de Monts
This is an idyllic and peaceful little place, much smaller than St Jean de Monts and far les busy too. Notre Dame de Monts is located just a few kilometres along the coast north of St Jean de Monts, and on the edge of the Foret des Pays de Monts, not far from the Ile de Noirmoutier.
Camping La Foret is just a couple of kilometres from Notre Dame de Monts and is a family-run park offering a pleasant atmosphere and excellent facilities.
 
The pool area enjoys a small fountain with a sunbathing terrace, great for lazing in the sun whilst the rest of the family splash around in the heated pools!
A long, sandy beach is just a short stroll away down a path, through a pine forest and there are plenty more attractive beaches nearby.
Getting there is quite easy and assuming that you have arrived via Le Havre, Caen or St Malo and you have just gone around Rennes, you should be heading south to Nantes. Here you will see a sign for the Nantes peripherique (ring road) approx 4 km before you actually get there. Get onto the peripherique and head Ouest (west) for Bordeaux, and keep on following the signs for Bordeaux until your exit junction which is No 48.
You are now on the free part of the A83 autoroute and take care here because you have to make a turn off in less than 2 KM to Challans onto the D178. From there just follow the signs for Challans and after that for St Jean de Monts where you will pick up signs for N.D. de Monts, so you actually skirt St Jean.
