Circuit around Saint Gilles Croix de Vie

The first part of the tour takes you to the Corniche Vendéenne, a wild setting of cliffs and coves, where you can pause for a closer look at the Feu de Grosse Terre and the Villa de Grosse Terre. After a pleasant descent, the Boisvinet district and its belle époque villas open the gates to Saint Gilles Croix de Vie. Further on, the fishing port awaits your arrival.

This is the perfect opportunity to discover the many small fishing boats that populate the quays. After visiting the Croix de Vie district, the Pont de la Concorde guides you to Vieux Saint Gilles. Once past the Port Fidèle quay, a tête-à-tête with the Jaunay river and its dunes awaits you. The return to Saint Hilaire de Riez is punctuated by a visit to its salt marshes and state-owned forest. Two natural environments each home to a rich biodiversity!
