Discovering Saint Gilles Croix de Vie

Saint-Gilles-Croix-de-Vie, famous for its fishing port and its emblematic sardine fishery, is an essential part of your stay. To immerse yourself in this tradition, be sure to visit the Atelier de la Sardine. This museum tells the fascinating story of the Vendée cannery and local fishing. And to round off the visit in style, sample their products on the spot, comfortably seated on the terrace.

Before that, head to Place Guy Kergoustin to discover the market from Saint-Gilles-Croix-de-Vie. As you stroll between the stalls, let yourself be tempted by the local flavours: sausages, seafood, fresh vegetables and regional specialities.
The summer atmosphere here is the very essence of a holiday!

Once you've finished your shopping, get on your bike or go on foot to the Corniche Vendéenne. Over a 3-kilometre stretch, admire a unique panorama of fine sandy beaches and rocky coastline. The local area has laid out a series of footpaths perfect for beautiful walks, offering you moments of relaxation close to nature.

To relax, or not...

After a delicious meal, we invite you to short swim on the main beach at Saint Gilles Croix de Vie.

On the other hand, if you'd rather get moving, we suggest an unusual activity. Head for the VéloRail of Commequiers.

As you can imagine, this is not going to be a relaxing ride, as you'll have to pedal. You won't have the choice of following the path, as this bicycle moves solely on rails.
An unusual route that will appeal to children and adults alike.

Distance 14 km round trip (7 km outward / 7 km return)
Rates from €29 / velorail
