Duration: 1/2 day



Immerse yourself in an exceptional setting
For this half-day of relaxation, we’re offering you the chance to immerse yourself in one of the most beautiful towns in the Vendée…
The well-named Saint Gilles Croix de Vie!
To kick off this escapade, we invite you to the Place Guy Kergoustin food market, which takes place every Wednesday and Saturday morning from 8am to 1pm.
What better way to wake up your taste buds than with flavors from the high seas… Taste buds will be able to discover local specialties.
And then, what a pleasure it is to stroll down these aisles, soaking up this unique atmosphere, where the values of living together and the spirit of conviviality are so prevalent.
This meeting place gives pride of place to the shopkeepers who delight our palates, and to the street performers who bring the neighborhood to life.
Yes, it’s a real invitation to stroll, an ode to simple pleasures that we propose to start your day.
Needless to say, this introduction should whet your appetite…
To enjoy the fresh produce you’ve bought at the market, head for the Passeur in Saint Gilles Croix de Vie, which will help you get to the Grande Plage.
It’s an original way of getting through life, and a phenomenal time-saver…
You’ll find it on Quai Marcel Bernard, just opposite Saint Gilles Croix de Vie town hall.
It takes just a few minutes to reach the other side.
And there you’ll discover a magnificent stretch of sand, untouched by the crowds, whose wild character is sure to seduce you.
To end this morning on a salty note, we thought you’d enjoy a dip in the waves and a few swims before dinner…
As a table, we invite you to unfold your towels on the sand and place the culinary specialties you’ve brought back from the market.
What a pleasure it is to discover new flavors with family and friends, and perhaps enjoy a new culinary experience together.
Yes, enjoy a lunch break with a sea view, smell the iodine in the air while tasting seafood…
It’s as close to a vacation as we like to imagine.
