Presentation

Your holiday along the Velodyssee begins at the very heart of the Breton marsh in the Vendée region, between sea and mainland. The scenery is astonishing, with water meadows and polders cut through by canals and drained by salt channels.
Arrival on the island of Noirmoutier underlines a deepening impression of being in another world as you penetrate further into the isle. There are beaches, salterns, visits to little fishing ports. And now you are ready for the third part of the programme where you set foot on the Ile d'Yeu with its wild coastline, fine sandy beaches, little white cottages and sea air to fill your lungs. It's as if you were on the open sea!

Program : The Vendée coastal isles 4 days

  • D1 Arrival in Noirmoutier en l'Île

    Arrival in Noirmoutier en l'Île in the late afternoon.

    The island of Noirmoutier is nicknamed the "island of mimosas" for its mild climate which allows mimosas to grow and bloom in winter. The dominant landscapes are salt marshes, dunes and holm oak forests.
    Welcome and installation in the rooms.

    Dinner where you will and night in a 3 star hotel with its own pool.

  • D2 From Noirmoutier to Bouin

    36,2 km stage if you go through Le Passage du Gois (tidal causeway) or 50 km by the bridge. From 3hrs00 to 4hrs00.

    First day on the roaming! At the southern end of the island of Noirmoutier, you will take the famous Gois passage, a 4 km itinerary only accessible at low tide. On the other side of the shore, you will ride through the heart of the Vendée bocage where the land and water form mirror-like patches. A sublime journey between land and sea. 

    Dinner where you will and night in a 3 star hotel with its own pool.

  • D3 Bike ride on the western side of the Island of Yeu (Ile d'Yeu - say "ealed yuh")

    Ride in the western part of the Ile d'Yeu: 18,2 kms (3hrs).
    You'll soon leave the bustle of the port behind you and come to the scenic track which follows the wild coastline. A succession of beaches set in a craggy coast. And a trip back in time with dolmens, menhirs and old castles.

    Dinner where you will at Port-Joinville followed by night at a 2 star hotel (or guest house).

  • D4 Ride on the eastern side of the Ile d'Yeu

    20 km stage (24 km possible), about 3hrs.
    The first part of the route is typified by beaches and gentle coastal scenery. At the very tip of the island lies a spot known as "les corbeaux" (the crows), where the wild and austere atmosphere of the island of Yeu dominates. The route back through the interior of the island, which passes between the neat white houses of the village of St Sauveur, is otherworldly...
    In the afternoon, you will take the boat back to the mainland.

    This is the end of your trip and the start of a new adventure!
