Visit of the natural harbor in Sables-d'Olonne which dates from the century under the impulse of Louis XI.

Natural harbour that was once called Le Havre-d'Olonne. The fishing port dates from the 15th century under the impulse of Louis XI. At that time, the port of Sablais was the first port for cod fishing. It is currently the most important of the Vendée. The fishing is done by trawling in the Gulf of Biscay and in the Irish Sea. What do we fish? cuttlefish, sole, hake, langoustine, shrimp, sardines, tuna... For a few years now, the number of fishing boats has been decreasing and the port has been filled with pleasure boats.

Le Port de Pêche aux Sables-d'Olonne
En dehors des heures d'arrivée des pêcheurs, le quartier du Port de pêche se visite très tranquillement et on peut y admirer les différents bateaux amarrés à quai et entendre ceux vraisemblablement en fabrication depuis les bâtiments dont ils sortent partiellement (voir photo du chantier naval).

Même s'il y a moins de bateaux de pêche dans le port qu'autrefois c'est un lieu fort agréable pour se flaner et il est bordé de nombreux restaurants sur de petites maisons d'un étage
la criée fonctionne tous les jours tôt le matin aux alentours de 4h,5h du matin et il est possible de la voir en passant par l'office du tourisme
aux sables se pêche le thon les sardines le merlu et le bar, les bateaux sont des chaluts
