Talmont-Saint-Hilaire

Talmont-Saint-Hilaire occupies a low Atlantic coastal plain between the Payré estuary and the ocean in the Vendée department of Pays de la Loire. The Payré reaches the sea near Plage du Veillon, a broad sandy shore bordered by dunes and pine woods, while the inland part of the commune retains a more rural character. In the historic centre, the medieval Château de Talmont preserves a prominent keep and recalls the lordship associated with Richard the Lionheart. Port Bourgenay, on the coast to the west, is a marina and resort district, adding a maritime counterpoint to the old town.
