L'ile de Noirmoutier stands out from central Vendee's resorts with L'Oceane seafood bar offering top-notch oysters affordably. Nearby, the picturesque village of Moustiers-Sainte-Marie, famous for pottery, invites visitors to explore surrounding hills and lavender fields, alongside activities like biking and paragliding. For thrill-seekers, Verdon Gorge caters with climbing and canoeing options. Additionally, the imaginative Le Palais Ideal du Facteur Cheval in Hauterives showcases a postman's 33-year craftsmanship, making it an inspiring stop for tourists.
Behind its unprepossessing exterior, the freshest oysters with bread, butter and lemon are a mere 8.90 for a half dozen.
Camping du Montdenier is an idyllic, isolated spot in the mountains just above the Verdon Gorge.
For the more adventurous, Verdon is the birthplace of sport climbing, or you can stay closer to the ground on a day trip canoeing down the gorge.
My tip is a visit to Le Palais Ideal du Facteur Cheval in Hauterives, between Lyon and Valence.
