In Clemenceau's footsteps

Georges Clemenceau's house is a must. Here the "Tiger", WWI prime minister, ended his life, gazing out to sea from his seaside garden designed by his friend Claude Monet. The museum visit takes you into the intimacy of a great statesman.

Preserved coast

Known for wild beaches and pine forests. Clemenceau beach, Payré point, GR 8 coastal path offer unforgettable walks. Preserved coastline still dominated by dunes and forest, unlike more built-up resorts.

Beyond hunting

Visit Clemenceau's house, walk the coast, push to Longeville-sur-Mer and Jard-sur-Mer. Les Sables-d'Olonne 25 min drive.

Tips

Arrive early; combine with Clemenceau house for a full day; small cash; enjoy beaches after hunting.
