You might not know the name, but the Vendée is one of the most popular regions for camping holidays in France. The Vendee, on the west coast south of the Loire River, is one of France’s sunniest regions and blessed with miles of sandy beaches, so it’s not hard to spot the attraction for families.

Another big plus is the ease of access for families travelling by car from the ferry ports at St Malo, Caen and Cherbourg, with drives times for around four hours.

There are two brilliant Siblu parks for posh camping holidays in the Vendée: Le Bois Masson and Le Bois Dormant . Each offers mobile home accommodation to make family breaks easy, plus big pool complexes, lots of sports and entertainment day and night.

Plus, a holiday at either of these parks gets you access to facilities at the neighbouring park, free of charge!

Vendée Holiday Highlights

The salt marshes

The salt marshes of Noirmoutier are a truly unique wonder. From the 5th century, the Benedictine monks transformed the wet marshes of the island into salt marshes.
Each year, over 100 workers extract the white gold from the sea water, with ancestral traditional processes and gestures. This salt, 100% natural, is harvested by hand.
