Notre Dame-de-Monts
On the
Atlantic coast in the north of the Vendée, Notre Dame-de-Monts is a
small village that owes its existence in the main to the tourist trade.
Situated between the Island of Noirmoutier and the holiday resort of St.Jean-de-Monts, the beaches
with some of the finest sand in the Vendée are backed by large sand
dunes that were planted in the 19th century with pine trees to stabilise
them. This in turn formed le Foret des Pay de Monts, which is ideal for
walking and cycling.
Behind the forest and coming right up to the edge of the village is the Marais Breton Vendéen, this is one of the most ecologically important areas in the Vendée, having been drained by the monks from the middle-ages onwards it was not until the building of the dykes on the Baie de Bourgneuf and the stabilising of the dunes that the marshes were tamed.
The modern seafront and promenade offer all the facilities for a beach holiday including excellent strolls.
3 beaches have surveillance from the 1st July to the end of August, and they all have toilets and showers.
POLE NAUTIQUE 20 Boulevard des Dunes Tél. 02 51 58 05 66 offers advice and training on all aspects of water sports including ; sea kayak, sailing, land yachting, wind surfing etc.,
Markets: Every Sunday Morning.
