Les Sables-d'Olonne

Les Sables-d’Olonne lies along France’s Atlantic coast on the Bay of Biscay, where a long sandy shoreline meets a working harbour and the low-lying Olonne marshes. The Grande Plage runs beside the central seafront, while La Chaume, across the harbour entrance, retains the character of the town’s older maritime quarter. Sailing is central to local identity: Les Sables-d’Olonne has been the start and finish port for the Vendée Globe since the race was created in 1989, bringing offshore crews and spectators from around the world. The wider Vendée coast is shaped by beaches, dunes and salt-marsh country. Move on to other webcams in Pays de la Loire to compare coastal settings around Les Sables-d’Olonne.
