Sainte-Hilaire-de-Riez, Vendée

After a trip to the boulangerie and using the motorhome services we got on the road to leave this beautiful island and head to our next stop.
We have chosen an aire at Saint-Hilaire-de-Riez about 30 miles away (we're liking our short drives and stopping in time for lunch).
We made a good choice , our aire is between a forest and the beach. It's extremely windy today and we had a couple of heavy rain showers , which by chance we managed to avoid . Walks in the forest and the beach twice (afternoon and evening) were thoroughly enjoyed by all.
Niska and I also managed another beach walk before breakfast.
This has been a lovely place to stop costing us €6.50 for 24 hours. Eau potable is an extra €2.75 but we didn't need a top up yet.
This area of the coast is really beautiful. We imagine it gets extremely busy during high season.Read more
