Hotels in Vendee, France

Vendée is a coastal region in western France, with a mild climate that brings warm summers (around 77°F / 25°C) perfect for sunbathing on the Atlantic beaches and cool winters (around 45°F / 7°C) ideal for exploring inland. It's famous for the Puy du Fou, a massive historical theme park where you can watch live reenactments of the Vendée Wars, and for the Marais Poitevin, a network of canals you can paddle through by canoe. In summer, try windsurfing or kitesurfing at Saint-Gilles-Croix-de-Vie, while winter offers lower hotel prices and a quieter look at the region's 19th-century fishing ports.
