Three Cycling Ideas from the Hotel

Head to Saint-Gilles-Croix-de-Vie
Take the road towards Saint-Gilles-Croix-de-Vie, and let the ocean guide you. The Corniche Vendéenne (coastline) unveils its wild cliffs. At Boisvinet, the Belle Époque villas tell the story of another era. Continue towards the Saint-Gilles harbor. Maritime atmosphere guaranteed! Then, cross the Jaunay River, before heading back through the salt marshes of Saint-Hilaire-de-Riez. Wild and soothing.

On the way to Brem-sur-Mer
A getaway between dunes, ocean, and vineyards. From the hotel, the route winds between nature and heritage. A stop is a must in the Gachère district, an old fishing village with postcard-like charm. Low houses, colorful shutters, and the Auzance River winding in the distance. A ride full of contrasts.

Sables-d’Olonne in Sight
A bit more challenging, but unforgettable. Ride along the coast, breathing in the salty air. Along the way: coves, forests, small hidden beaches... Arriving at the large beach of Les Sables is a spectacle in itself. Explore the Île Penotte district, with its seashell murals, discover the authentic atmosphere of the fishing port, and take a break at Port Olona, the starting point of the legendary Vendée Globe. The perfect getaway for a full day of cycling.

Tips for Your Cycling Stay

• Bring appropriate gear: Hôtellerie Les Brisants provides quality bikes, but it's always best to bring comfortable clothing, good shoes, and a water bottle to stay hydrated during your rides.
• Get information about the routes: The hotel team is available to advise you on the best routes. Don’t hesitate to ask for maps or practical tips!
• Respect the environment: While using the bike paths, be mindful of nature and protected spaces. This will allow you to fully enjoy the beauty of the landscapes and preserve this exceptional environment.

Conclusion

Back at the hotel? Let yourself be tempted by a massage at L’Étoile des Sens, or a dinner facing the sea at the Michelin-starred restaurant JM Perochon. Then, head to your room or suite, rocked by the sound of the waves and the scent of salt. The perfect starting point to explore the coast differently.

So, don’t wait any longer to book your stay and get ready to explore the hidden treasures of the Vendée by bike!
