Rocky shoreline path and viewpoint west of the town, valued for Atlantic panoramas, sea air and a quieter local atmosphere.
A rich fish soup from the Vendée coast, usually made with local rock fish and shellfish. It is a staple seaside dish served with rouille and croutons.
Mussels cooked with cream, white wine and Vendée seasonings. They are a classic Atlantic coast favourite, especially popular in seaside restaurants.
A traditional brioche from the Vendée, enriched with butter and eggs. It is eaten at celebrations and is one of the region’s most recognisable specialities.
Established dining room focused on carefully prepared seafood and seasonal produce, with polished service and a calm ambience.
Stylish seafood restaurant near the port, known for fresh fish, shellfish and refined coastal cooking in a relaxed modern setting.
Well-known brasserie on the seafront serving oysters, fish platters and classic French dishes with lively beachside atmosphere.
Moderate for a French seaside resort: summer stays and seafood dining lift costs, while casual meals and local buses stay fairly manageable.
Service is usually included. Round up or leave 5-10% for very good restaurant service. Taxis may be rounded up, and small change is fine in cafés.
