Sports and leisure activities Luçon

Do you know what an autogyro is? It's a flying machine powered by a motor-driven propeller, similar to a helicopter. Departing from Luçon, aboard this gyrocopter, discover the beaches of southern Vendée, from l'Aiguillon-sur-Mer to la Tranche-sur-Mer, via l'île de Ré and La Rochelle. Alone on board with an experienced instructor, you'll even have the chance to take the controls and learn how to fly, as flying lessons are also available. You'll also be able to enjoy the magnificent scenery. A great gift idea, don't you think?

Classified as a Natura 2000 area, the banks of this 42-hectare municipal lake are a natural site ideal for relaxation. A 4.5 km trail offers walkers and joggers a typical landscape in which to admire the flora of the dried marsh and enjoy the water's edge to the full. It's a great place for fishing, with waters rich in carp. Swimming is prohibited, but it's a popular spot for picnics. Bike rentals available in summer.
