The Vendée has some of the best weather on the Atlantic coast, with sunshine hours that rival the south of France, and around seventy miles of sandy beaches to enjoy it on. Good road links and nearby airports at La Rochelle and Nantes keep the department well connected. Defined by maritime and revolutionary history, the Vendée is home to Les Sables-d'Olonne, the starting point for the Vendée Globe round-the-world sailing race, and to La Roche-sur-Yon, purpose-built by Napoleon and still retaining its distinctive planned layout. Away from the main historic attractions, buyers will find the island of Noirmoutier, linked to the mainland by a tidal causeway, and the shaded waterways of the Marais Poitevin, known as Green Venice. The Vendée is also noted for its family attractions, with the historical theme park of Puy du Fou drawing visitors from across France. A notably sunny, mild climate makes it one of the most reliable coastal departments year-round. Property here ranges from a coastal holiday home, a farmhouse in the bocage countryside or a house in a traditional market town, the Vendée offers choice. With sunshine, coastline and family appeal, it remains one of the most popular departments on the Atlantic coast. Houses in Vendée currently average €2,220/m².
