Since 2017, La Compagnie Vendéenne offers the possibility of a^3rd departure port to Yeu Island: La Fosse-île de Noirmoutier.

A few departures are offered with a stopover via Fromentine, with an extra 15 minutes added to the journey time. Free parking (limited spaces available).

The parking lot offers affordable rates and subscriptions for longer stays. A free shuttle is also available to take you to the port 30 minutes before each boat departure. The Martineau parking lot is therefore a practical and safe choice for travelers arriving on the Île d'Yeu by car.

From Saint-Gilles-Croix-de-Vie, the crossing to the island of Yeu with the Compagnie Vendéenne takes 60 minutes. On the day of departure, come to the pier 30 minutes before.

Are you going to the island of Yeu? You need to park your vehicle. Just 100 m from the Fromentine ferry terminal, the Bodin car parks offer 300 covered spaces under remote surveillance, and 1,100 spaces in overhead car parks, which are enclosed or guarded at night. The company offers 2, 3 and 6 month subscriptions for people who regularly visit the island, as well as additional services: cleaning, vehicle maintenance, etc. It is also a Europcar agent and offers car rental. Small downside: each year, the rate increases by one euro ...

Another alternative to the boat to connect the island of Yeu to the mainland, this company will take you for your private, professional, tourist and event trips, from the Fromentine heliport to the island of Yeu. Approximately 10 minutes of crossing during which you will admire the coast from the sky. Several flights: the baptism, a discovery flight of 4 minutes; the tour of the island where you will admire the wild coast with the point of Chatelet, the old castle. Other walks: the tour of Noirmoutier, tailor-made formulas, parachute jumping in helicopter.

It is located 12 miles from Les Sables-d'Olonne, 5 miles from Bourgenay (Talmont-Saint-Hilaire) and 17 miles from Saint-Martin-de-Ré in Charente-Maritime. It offers 508 moorings and 211 pontoon berths. It is accessible within 2 hours before and 2 hours after high tide (draught less than 1.50 m). The approach at night is to be avoided as there are no lights. You will be able to enjoy its natural cove by relaxing in the shade of the café and restaurant terraces.

In the heart of the city, La Roche-sur-Yon station offers several services while waiting for your train: Wi-fi, table football, toilets, bookshop, lost and found. The station has a taxi rank and is close to public transport. On the other hand, there is a big problem with the car park, which is undersized and has very tight spaces: not at all practical when you have luggage to take in your vehicle. But luckily, on the other side of the footbridge, there is a second, larger car park.

Located at l'Epine, the port of Morin has always been a place where sailors used to wet their small boats. But it was a poorly protected anchorage. It was in 1983 that the project for a port reinforced by dikes was decided. The work was completed in 2000. Today, the port of Morin is essentially a marina, although there are still some professional fishermen. Its total capacity is 935 seats. With 850 boats, this port lives at the rhythm of the tides, since it fails at times of high low water.
