Relax in the plentiful Vendée sunshine
The Les Dunes campsite enjoys an idyllic setting for anyone wanting to treat themselves to a holiday with family or friends, only 900 metres from the magnificent Les Conches beach, in the town of Longeville sur Mer. This establishment occupies wooded, lush grounds near the road linking the hamlet of Les Conches to the eponymous beach, where in particular a surf school is located.
Upon arrival, lovers of this discipline can pitch their tent or park their converted van on one of the camping pitches, and quickly go to the beach to tackle the best waves! Those who enjoy the benefits of life in the great outdoors, whilst wanting greater comfort, can choose the Freecamp Premium option. This enables you to stay on a wooded camping pitch, whilst enjoying a timber cabin with private sanitary block and open-plan kitchen. Couples wanting to treat themselves to a romantic getaway may be tempted by the appeal of the Premium timber chalets!
Families, whether small or large, may choose a spacious and functional cottage better suited to their needs with a surface area of 22 m² to 32 m² depending on the design. They can accommodate four to six people. Some holiday rentals are equipped to comfortably accommodate disabled people and all enjoy a raised timber terrace to have your meals outside, shaded from the Vendée sunshine!
An XXL aqua park, near La Tranche sur Mer
The Les Dunes campsite has a water park which is impressive to say the least! This has an indoor section with a second part outdoors! In the indoor part, a heated swimming pool awaits holidaymakers from April to the end of September. The outdoor pools, also heated, are accessible from mid-May to mid-September, as with the thrill-seeker water slides and play paddling pool, which introduces the very young to the delights of water. Slides and laughter, beginners swimming lessons, free-diving competition, sunbathing sessions on the sunloungers or a siesta in the shade of a parasol. The possibilities are endless, with happy memories of the holiday in the Vendée forever etched on your mind with the aquatic park!
The Les Dunes activity team offers a multitude of leisure and sports activities, to do on your own or with your family. You can take time just for you, to have a step or fitness class. Yet also have a family adventure by hiking or getting on your bike to go and explore the Vendée region. Not forgetting to let off steam by playing football or volleyball, and indulging in the official summer and holiday game: petanque! Have all these activities whetted your appetite? Pizzas, salads and ice creams await you at the campsite snack bar.
Children also make the most of their holiday on the Les Dunes campsite. Between the secure playground with slides, teeter-totters, climbing ropes and meeting up at the children’s club, 5 mornings a week in July and August, they have fun-packed days! Even teens aged 12 to 15 have a club given over to their interests and wants and needs.
Festive days are followed by lively evenings three or four times a week: concerts, karaoke nights and dance evenings allow you to get to know other holidaymakers and quite simply have an enjoyable time!
Discover Longeville sur Mer and the delights of the Vendée
The seaside resort of Longeville sur Mer is divided into three areas: the plains, the Marais Poitevin regional park (with a wetland nature reserve) and the Longeville national forest, which runs alongside 7 kilometres of beaches. This variety of landscapes enables a multitude of sports activities in the middle of nowhere, family swims in the Atlantic and times of relaxation on the sand, heated by the Vendée sunshine. From the campsite, surfing enthusiasts can also quickly reach the famous La Terrière beach in La Tranche sur Mer.
In Talmont Saint Hilaire, a little further north on the Côte de Lumière, be wowed by the multicoloured fish in the Aquarium de Vendée aquarium, cover the salt marshes, enjoy a few oysters from the oyster farms and visit Talmont medieval castle. The Les Dunes campsite is located 30 minutes from Les Sables d'Olonne, this town being the start point for the legendary solo round-the-world Vendée Globe yacht race, and home to hundreds of exotic animals at the Zoo des Sables zoo.
Your stay on the Les Dunes campsite also enables you to arrange a timeless day at the Puy-du Fou, several times voted the best theme park in the world. The life-size attractions and the impressive Cinéscénie (historical night-time show) will leave you with an indelible memory. Unless you’d prefer to make the most of the bucolic charm of the Ile de Ré island, accessible by ferry from La Tranche sur Mer...
