Walking in the Vendée
The French
are passionate about walking and nowhere is that more unambiguous than
in the Vendée, where “Rondos” or organised walks are a regular feature.
Within the Vendée there are thousands of miles of marked walks, in fact
virtually every commune will have several of them with clearly marked
posts, usually painted with coloured arrows to indicate the route. The
details of these routes are published in small brochures which are
available from the local Maire or local tourist office. The brochures
contain a small map, the colour of the route, its distance, the
approximate time it takes to walk the route and things of interest to
see along the way. There are excellent walks along the whole of the
Vendée coast, these are well marked and take one off the beaten track
where one can see sights and experience things which only walking
allows. One can lose oneself in the tranquillity and take in scents of the forest, or stroll along the toll paths of the canals on the Marais Poitevin,
which were formerly used by horses to pull the barges along. There is
no better way to see anywhere than by foot, and the Vendée is no
exception.
