Coex

Situated on the busy D60 between St. Gilles-Croix-de-Vie and Aizenay in the bas Bocage, this attractive small town claims to be the floral capital of the Vendée.
Coex is an ideal centre from which to discover this interesting region and there are many walks and cycle rides that take you off the beaten track.
It has a market every Saturday.

Gardens of Olfacties. These gardens are the pride and joy of the town and house a wonderful collection of plants many of them scented. The entrance is from the main street in a building clearly marked Jardin des Olfacties which also houses the information office. The gardens offer good disabled access with clearly marked trails for wheelchair users. The gardens can also be viewed at night when they are illuminated.
Beside these formal gardens there are smaller gardens behind the Mairie.
