Camping in St Jean de Monts, Northern Vendee
St Jean de Monts is a small to medium sized town facing the Atlantic coast. It is possibly one of the most popular camping areas in both the Vendee and France and is a great place to spend a family camping holiday.
Across the road from the promenade there are shops, cafes, restaurants and hotels, and down the side streets are some quaint little shops - aimed purely at tourists but in a nice way! The best street for this kind of shopping leads off from the top of the town and to get there look for the "Lady in the Fountain" monument, and from there you just cannot miss it.
There are two markets per week in St Jean; Wednesday and Saturday mornings from 7 am to about 12.30 to 1pm, and they are in the communal car park. There is also a permanent indoor fish/meat/cheese and general food market next door on the same site.
Camping Clarys Plage near St Jean de Monts is one of the most popular in the area, is a modern site with a fantastic pool complex and close to the beach.
 
Just a ten minute walk from the beach and five miles south of St Jean de Monts, Camping Clarys Plage boasts an impressive pool complex with covered pool, waterchutes and sun terraces.

Getting to St Jean de Monts is easy. Get onto the Nantes périphérique or ring road. If you miss that then you have to go through the city (which takes a lot longer). Once on the périphérique follow the signs for Bordeaux and leave it at junction 48. Once you've joined, after about 1.5km, don't miss the turn for Challons! Follow Challans signs until you pick up the one for St Jean and then on to your camp site for which you should have local directions.
