Sightseeing
The fishing town of St Gilles Croix-de-Vie is a short drive away and is home to popular markets held 3-4 times a week. For livelier resorts, try Les Sables d'Olonne and St Jean de Monts, located south and north to the parc respectively. Windsurfing is one of the activities available on the lake at Apremont, where there are also the ruins of a Renaissance castle. Then for something totally different, why not pay a visit to Le Grand Parc, Puy du Fou, approximately 90km away, with fantastic falconry displays and chariot races?
