Looking for a sunny beach holiday that won’t break the bank? The Vendée region of France boasts over 200 sunshine-filled days a year, endless stretches of safe, sandy beach and an excellent range of family accommodation. It’s also an easy drive from channel ports, so the kids can be building sandcastles and getting stuck into water sports from day one.

Wake up in France says
The Vendée stretches from south of Brittany to north of La Rochelle. With over 200 days of sunshine a year and miles of fine sandy beaches, it’s no wonder that British holidaymakers have claimed the Vendée as their own.
It is an easy journey from any of the channel ports, so the perfect choice for a sunny beach holiday without too much driving. Alternatively, take a low cost flight into Nantes.
On the coast, you can enjoy safe beaches, sand dunes, fragrant pine woods, watersports and lively resorts like St Jean de Monts or its quieter cousin, St Hilaire de Riez. Venture inland to the ancient Marais and picturesque villages where time stands still.
Wake up in France has been offering holiday accommodation for more than 16 years, with the widest selection of properties in the Vendée including villas in holiday villages, apartments and villas with private pools.
Perhaps our most popular choice is Le Mas de St Hilaire, a holiday village just 650m walk through pine forest to a safe sandy beach. It is especially suitable for families with young children (including babies).
Our villas with private pool in the Vendée sleep between four and 12 people – perfect if you want that bit more privacy and space, and ideal if you are travelling with another family.
More active families, especially teenagers, may prefer to have a golf course, tennis courts and pool on site; the Domaine de Fontenelles, near St Gilles Croix de Vie, offers apartments and village houses.
