Port Bourgenay, Vendee

Port Bourgenay a purpose built holiday resort just 5 kilometes from Talmont St. Hilaire has a delightful modern marina, a golf course and the great beach of Veillon, these are just some of the delights that are on offer. It is on the north side of the Payre River, has a relaxing atmosphere and as it has not been found by the hoards of holiday makers that can normally ruin such places.
There are a few cafes and restaurants to cater for those that do look it up. The deep water marina is very modern and modest in size catering for the local sports fishermen and yachtsmen and there are chandleries and workshops for them.

The Beach at Veillon is one of the prettiest in the Vendee and if you are thinking of visiting it in the holiday season you are advised to arrive early as parking near the beach is limited so you may have a long walk. A walk over the dunes or along the beach to the Payre river, especially at low tide, will reward you with possibly the finest scenery in this part of France.
The beach has survellance during the season and there are refreshments available including a beach restaurant.

The golf course designed by P.Thevenin overlooks the marina of port Bourgenay, bordered by a pine forest on the very edge of the sea. The 85 hectare course has alternative pine forest and hedgerows giving two differing experiences.
The cliff top walk north from the Marina towards Les Sables-d'Olonne takes in some of the most rugged coastline in the Vendée.
