About Les Sables D'olonne
Les Sables-d’Olonne opens onto the Atlantic with a broad sandy beach, a working harbor and a lively seaside promenade in France’s Vendée region.
The Remblai promenade gives the town a relaxed coastal feel, with cafés, sea views and easy access to La Grande Plage. Families can see animals at the Zoo des Sables, follow the lanes of La Chaume and watch sailing activity around Port Olona.
Les Halles Centrales serves local seafood, while moule-frites and brioche vendéenne add regional flavor. July and August bring the liveliest beach atmosphere.
