Connect with Nature
Naturism is about interacting with the environment, and there is no better place for that than the west of France. Away from your naturist campsite, you can see the magnificent landscapes in Marais de Poitevin. Also called Green Venice, the polder landscape has over 200 km of cycling routes that visitors can use to explore the region. Marais Breton offers 45,000 Ha of wet meadows, canals and polders that are must-see. The department also has several protected natural heritage sites that you can include in your itinerary.
Feast on the Sites
A naturist holiday in the 85th department would be a waste without visiting some of the attractions. The region offers a lot of history that will make your naturist getaway memorable. The ruins of Saint Pierre de Maillezais Abbey should be on your sightseeing list. Put du Fou is a historical theme park that has earned the title of the world's best theme park. Visit villages that promise incredible heritage and architecture. Mouchamps and Mallièvre in Bocage, Foussais-Payrè and Apremont are some options that reflect the region's identity.
A holiday in the Vendée can be a rewarding experience if you let it. Find activities to engage in beyond what is available at a naturist center.
