Walking through the narrow streets, enjoy the sight of the pretty white houses with colourful shutters. In front of the dunes, the water of its long beaches is turquoise on summer days. Its cliffs surround pretty coves, a landscape conducive to lazing around with a good book or swimming in the ocean. Fishing also has an active presence on the island with the famous Port de la Meule.

The department of Vendée has the number 85. It is composed of 3 districts ("arrondissements") , 31 townships ("cantons") and 282 towns ("communes"). South Coast and Poitevin Marshes: It is the same type of territory, but we are here in the south, in the Marais Poitevin, known for its luxuriance, its canals and bucolic boat trips... We follow the coast from beach to beach, for discover the very touristy, sparkling and jovial face of the Vendée littoral. Les Sables d'Olonne is the most lively point of our getaways. On the east side, you enter the wetlands of the marsh, giving pride of place to towns and villages which offer a vernacular heritage related to the landscapes. Continuing towards the south, Bretignolles-sur-Mer is a small resort with a very long beach while Sables d'Olonne is one of the most upmarket resorts in this part of France and stays active into the evening with lots of restaurants and entertainments.
According to Theodore A. Dodge, [55] the war in the Vendée lasted with intensity from 1793 to 1799, when it was suppressed, but later broke out spasmodically especially in 1813, 1814 and 1815. During Napoleon's Hundred Days in 1815, some of the population of the Vendée remained loyal to Louis XVIII, forcing Napoleon—who was short of troops to fight the Waterloo Campaign—to send a force of 10,000 under the command of Jean Maximilien Lamarque to pacify the 8,000 Vendeans led by Pierre Constant Suzannet, which ended with the Battle of Rocheservière. [56] Historiography [ edit ] The Vendée, which was formerly much larger and was part of the whole of Bas-Poitou, has been a territory populated since the Neolithic, as evidenced by the remains found and the many megaliths, still planted in the ground everywhere (especially in the Talmondais). During Antiquity, the Pictons and the Celts settled in the coastal regions. Caesar arrives and agrees with the Pictons, in an alliance that makes the region prosperous. From the 4th century, Bas-Poitou became Christianized and structured to face the Viking invasions of the 8th century: the coast was the scene of violence which only ended with the cession of present-day Normandy. Taylor, Ida Ashworth (1913). The tragedy of an army: La Vendée in 1793. Hutchinson & Co. p. 315 . Retrieved 22 December 2011. Here, stretching from the Deux Sevres across the Vendée and into the Charente Maritime in a rather meandering sort of way, is the beautiful region of the Marais Poitevin. It’s a sleepy labyrinth of canals lined with poplars and weeping willows also known as Green Venice which was first created in the 10 th century by monks and later refined by the Dutch. Here you’ll find punting, artists and the stone cottages of Arcais with its Angelica liquor and twisting streets, the pretty village of Benet and the waterside town of Damvix.
