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.

                                 Cyclo Trek. 21,rue Pertuis Breton. Tel. 02 51 30 40 50.



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

Swimming: The sheltered bay of la Tranche-sur-Mer is ideal  for swimming and for those that seek more thrills of the Atlantic rollers then the beaches to the north offer  some exceptional venues, 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.
