Beauvoir-sur-Mer

Beauvoir-sur-Mer straddles the inland fringe of the Marais Breton in Pays de la Loire, where reclaimed wetlands and tidal influence have long shaped settlement and farming. The town lies beside the Bay of Bourgneuf, a broad, shallow inlet on France’s Atlantic coast, and close to the Passage du Gois, the tidal road that connects the mainland with Noirmoutier Island when the sea recedes. This causeway remains an emblem of the local relationship with the tide, as access depends on the water rather than a timetable. Oyster cultivation and salt-marsh traditions are part of the identity of this low, open corner of Vendée.
