In a few words

Welcome to the Vendée region for a getaway to the islands of Yeu and Noirmoutier ! Your journey begins at the port of Île d'Yeu , where the hustle and bustle of the mainland melts away as soon as you set foot on this picturesque island. You'll be enchanted by the sight of fishermen unloading their lobster pots, the secluded coves, the fine sandy beaches, the pine forests, and the wild moors that unfold along your hiking trail. Your itinerary then continues to Île de Noirmoutier , where the tranquility of the nature reserves welcomes a rich diversity of seabirds. You'll discover the beauty of the Bois de la Chaise forest , where maritime pines mingle with shaded paths perfect for leisurely strolls. The salt marshes , emblems of the island, offer a unique and fascinating landscape, bearing witness to a centuries-old tradition of salt harvesting. Each stage of your journey will be an opportunity to immerse yourself in the unspoiled nature and peaceful atmosphere of these Atlantic havens.

Île d'Yeu: a very beautiful island and, at this time of year, not many people (which is what we were looking for). Beautiful, well-marked hiking trails. A very good hotel, located right opposite the ferry terminal, with an excellent welcome and a superb breakfast. Noirmoutier: we were less charmed by the scenery, except for the Bois de Chaize forest, with its 1930s houses and magnificent beaches. A quality hotel with a very warm welcome and a very good breakfast. A stay to recommend outside of the summer season!

Improvement: the documents and ferry tickets were waiting for us at our first accommodation! It would have been better to have the tickets beforehand ;-) ;-) The Escale accommodation was perfect, the walks on the island were enchanting, and the Hotel Bois de la Chaize was extremely well located. The walking activity in Noirmoutier was very disappointing; we adapted and combined it with cycling, which was more suitable for that area. A wonderful holiday!
