Saint-Jean-de-Monts, a seaside resort between dunes and forest

Welcome to Saint-Jean-de-Monts, pearl of the Vendée coast, renowned for its immense beaches, its mild climate and its family atmosphere. Between ocean, marshes and forest, this destination is ideal for a nature getaway by the sea.

A dynamic and revitalizing seaside
The beach of Saint-Jean-de-Monts, more than 8 km long, is a real playground for young and old. Swimming, sand yachting, kite-surfing or paddle, there is no shortage of water activities. The embankment, lined with restaurants and shops, is perfect for a stroll by the sea, particularly pleasant at sunset.

A preserved natural environment between dunes and marshes
Saint-Jean-de-Monts is not limited to its seaside: the Pays de Monts State Forest, with its maritime pines and holm oaks, is an ideal space for walks or bike rides, in the heart of a protected environment. Not far away, the Marais breton vendéen offers a completely different setting: a listed natural area, where you can observe migratory birds, storks and herons along shaded paths or boat trips. Not to be missed: The Kulmino, a 70-metre-high panoramic tower, offering a 360° view of the marshes and the Vendée coast.

A cuisine with marine and Vendée flavors
Local products are in the spotlight in Saint-Jean-de-Monts, where you can taste mogette, a white bean typical of Vendée, oysters and seafood or the delicious Vendée brioche.
