The Vendée department has endeavoured to meet the growing demand for sporting activities that are accessible to as many people as possible. With a relatively flat landscape, particularly along the coast, any outing on foot or by bike is suitable for as many people as possible, whatever their pace.
Let's expand on this a little :running, cycling in Les Sables d'Olonne
For example, starting with Sables d'Olonne in particular the hotel Calme des Pins At the end of the large beach in Les Sables d'Olonne, you choose your appropriate route on foot, you will have the choice of running on the large sandy beach of Les Sables d'Olonne (at ebb tide to find hard sand or higher up on the embankment) Beware of pedestrian congestion!)
And if you're more of a nature lover, then you're in for a real treat as you head south along the untamed coastline. You'll enjoy a splendid panorama with the Atlantic Ocean in the background.
To conclude running, Our sports associations, supported by our local authorities, organise events such as 10 km, half marathons, triathlons and trails.
With regard to bikeThe Vendée department has developed more than 500 kilometres of cycle paths, so the choice of distances is endless...
You'll travel along the coastline, alternating between tarmac, forest tracks and marsh crossings, where you'll come across a salt worker along the way (on the Ile d'Olonne, for example).
The bocage: long, well-maintained tracks, a multitude of grassy paths, stretches of water where you can pedal with varying degrees of ease, a great place to stop for a snack!
I'll come back to the fun tours in a later article.
In conclusion, a charming hotel in Les Sables d'Olonne The Calme des Pins where cyclists and pedestrians are welcome. bicycle garage available. A free SAUNA SPA to relax your legs.
