Just around the corner from the “Lantern Tower” in La Rochelle is the Olivier ice
cream parlour with an extensive shop front, beneath arcades, which serves a variety of
tempting flavours to passers-by. It’s worth a look for the sheer diversity and
imagination of the flavours on...

Saint Martin de Ré is the main town on the beautiful island of the Île de Ré. The
place is set completely within a large 18th century fortress (designed by Vauban) and
there’s still a prison on the outskirts. At the centre of town is a pretty port and
lots of narrow cobbled...

The island of Ré is famous for having some of the best beaches on this part of France’s
coast. It is joined to the mainland by the expensive Pont de l’Île de Ré toll bridge
and the two main sights (beyond the beaches) are the main town of Saint Martin de Ré, set

The Île de Penotte is a small area (just a couple of narrow alleyways) one road back from
the seafront in the town of Les Sables d’Olonne. It’s worth seeking out as a local
artist has decorated the walls with a riot of murals and pictures using shells, often
using features on the...

Next door to the covered market in the centre of the seaside town of Les Sables d’Olonne
is a public toilet whose attendant has decided to decorate with a bizarre and eclectic mix
of posters, signs, pictures, toys and bric-a-brac. Signs in various languages invite you
to come in and...

“Le Triskell” (the name of the traditional symbol of Brittany) is a Breton-style
crêperie found at two locations in the seaside town of Les Sables d’Olonne. Serving
excellent food and traditional cider (drunk from a tea cup) the restaurant is adorned with

The somewhat ambitiously named “Venice of Apremont” is a boat hire area below the
town’s ruined château that allows you to explore the river downstream of Apremont’s
dam. Canoes, pedaloes and other boats are for hire from May to mid-September. The lake
formed above the dam is also...

The Vélo Rail is a unique and unusual idea – a 10km stretch of disused railway between
the town of Commequiers and Coëx on which you can ride purpose-built rail “bicycles”
accommodating up to four people. Two people peddle on either side of the bicycle and two
can sit in between on a...

The partly ruined Château d’Apremont is a picturesque affair overlooking the town and
its river. Two impressive towers are standing (between which is the office of the
town’s mayor) and some well kept gardens including an old well and a subterranean ice
house. It’s only open during...

Maché is a fairly non-descript Vendée town but useful as a provisioning base if you’re
exploring this corner of France as it’s well provided with shops, a bakery and even an
internet café. There is no tourist information office. The main reason for visiting
the town is to drive...

The Passage du Gois is an impressive causeway which snakes its way across the muddy Baie
de Bourgneuf to connect the island of Noirmoutier with mainland France (at the town of
Beauvoir sur Mer). There’s also a road bridge but it’s much less interesting. The

The seaside town of Saint Gilles Croix de Vie is a quieter alternative to the more
touristy towns of St Jean de Monts and Les Sable d’Olonne to the north and south.
Although favoured by an older crowd (with a significant number of people coming here to
retire) it has a decent long...
