Yeu island crossing
Ile d’Yeu is a must in the department and a crossing of this island seems essential to discover the different Vendée landscapes. This hike, with its 5.3 km, is accessible even to the youngest who will be able to marvel at the various panoramas offered by the island. The departure is Port Joinville where you have to follow La Tourette Beach to take the bike path to the Beach Les Vieilles. This walk is fast nothing prevents you to continue your ride to explore the rest of the island or to stop and enjoy the coves.
Noirmoutier island crossing
We go from one island to another equally famous for its landscapes, the island of Noirmoutier. This time we propose a hike which remains accessible but longer because the distance to be traveled is 32,1 km and allows to cross the island entirely.
The hike is done in several stages:
- The departure is made in the port of l ‘Herbaudière
- Place of the Étier du MoulinPort of the Morin to the Thorn
- roundabout of the Guérinière
- roundabout du bonhomme
- To finish the roundabout of the Pit to Barbâtre
From Saint-Jean-de-Monts to Saint-Gilles
With a distance of 22.9 km this family bike ride allows you to see different landscapes. Indeed, you will pass by the sea, near the dunes and pine forest. With more than a quarter of the hike on the trail in the pine forest, you can take breaks to enjoy the shade of the trees.
The hike has 5 stages:
- Departure of the embankment of Saint-Jean-de-Monts
- Beach of the Pèvre à Saint-Hilaire-de-Riez
- We advise you to go along the seaside at Sion sur l’Océan
