You can take advantage of this opportunity to cross embankments, marshes and forests for a short or long ride.
On foot or by bike, you’ll find plenty of beautiful places to explore during your stay, and close to your campsite home, Le Bois de La Gachère.

Les Marais d’Olonne
If we can recommend a nice spot, it’s the Olonne marshes. For a change of scenery, it’s the perfect place. You can start from the commune of Olonne-sur-Mer, near Les Sables d’Olonne. Once you’re there, head towards the marshes, first crossing dirt roads and then arriving on the cycle path, which you’ll follow on foot.

A word of advice:
For these walks, don’t hesitate to pack a picnic lunch in your rucksack, and enjoy a moment’s rest over a sandwich along the way. Take a break to enjoy the peace and quiet of nature.
