Getting away from it all: set off for Saint-Jean-de-Monts in Vendée
A great time guaranteed!
A stay in Saint Jean de Monts is the guarantee of a welcome break, of getting back to essentials and forgetting about all the rest …
But it also gives you a great panoramic view of a typical seaside atmosphere.
Saint Jean de Monts is a destination blending the best of the beach (a vast, gently sloping, fine sandy beach without strong waves!) and countless traditional and original leisure activities.
Saint Jean de Monts: an exceptional geographical location
It’s true that this seaside town with 8500 permanent inhabitants is ideally located between the islands of Noirmoutier and Yeu, near the Vendée cliffs, the Vendée salt marshes and the Puy du Fou.
What would you like to do? Saint Jean de Monts will not disappoint you! Hiking, cycling or horse-riding in the shade of the pine trees, a walk through the salt marshes or next to the sea, a visit to the belvedere, perched high in the forest – everything here is a source of wonder and relaxation!
And don’t forget to walk along the 400-metre landing stage that goes all the way into the sea and provides a breathtaking view!
You’ll be amazed by Saint Jean de Monts!
Just for you and your family, explore the vast natural areas: 8 km of fine sand beaches, 4000 hectares of salt marshes, 765 hectares of forests.
Each day, the beach is transformed before your eyes with a parade of sand yachts, the acrobatic kite surfers and the hundreds of horses during the Caval'Océaneevent...
Experience a seaside history that is filled with striking architecture: the rounded villas from the 1950s, the curves and pyramid shapes of the flats from the 1970s and the stone façades of the earliest holiday homes.
Adventures in gastronomy
Everyday from April to September, the covered market at the heart of the town is an introduction to fresh, local produce in a thousand summer colours.
Are you looking for something local? That’s great! Taste our “home-grown” specialities: the fionaïe (an egg dish), eels, caillebotte cheese, the rata de margate (seafood), etc.. For simple pleasures and a great time for all, enjoy a picnic with your family or friends on one of the beaches in the shade of the pine trees.
