Activities La
Tranche-sur-Mer
La Tranche sur Mer
is one of the finest holiday resorts in the Vendée and attracts visitors
every year who come to relax in the almost Mediterranean climate, take in the
many cultural events and enjoy the vast array of sporting activities that the
area provides.
Listed below are many of these activities with links to
further information where appropriate.

Cycling: Cycling is not only a good way of keeping in trim
while on holiday, it is also one of the best ways to discover the area around
you, with hundreds of kilometres of cycle tracks in the vendée, all clearly
marked and often taking you to places difficult to get to by other means.
If
you are able to bring your bikes you will enjoy the convenience of being able to
cycle where you want when you want and of course at a reasonable
cost.
However if
should you need to hire bicycles the following establishments offer bike hire in
the area.

Fishing: The main types of fishing are beach casting and
deep sea fishing although of course you could include "Peche a Main" literally
hand fishing or the collecting of shell fish from the rocks and sands at low
tide.
Because of the popularity of the beach during the day, beach casting
is usually reserved for night time, rough weather or out of season. It would be
true to say that most fishermen prefer the more isolated beaches both north and
south of la Tranche-sur-Mer
Deep sea fishing is well catered for and a list
of boats that make fishing trips is listed in our section on Boat Charters in the Vendée

ideal for swimming and for those that seek more thrills of the Atlantic

though it is important to remember that there are often strong under currents
and many of the beaches do not have supervision.
The alternative is the
indoor Aquatic Centre of l'Aunisceane has all the water activities needed to entertain you and the
family.
