Travel Guide Notre-Dame-De-Monts

A family seaside resort, near Saint-Jean-de-Monts and the Noirmoutier bridge. The resort as well as the accommodation providers, tourist sites, the nautical center, the cinema and other tourism actors offer, for children and families, "Plus" services listed in their "Cap Famille" guide. "Notre-Dame" benefits from an important natural heritage: a territory of 2,062 ha shared between marshes (1,454 ha), forest (361 ha) and dunes with 4.6 km of gently sloping beaches, ideal for children. Curiosity to see: the Pont d'Yeu, a rocky promontory in the direction of the island of Yeu, a favorite place for fishermen on foot. The place is given to the environment: privilege the cycle tracks in the forest and pedestrian paths. In summer, the population of the town increases to more than 30,000 inhabitants. The architectural heritage is represented by the bourrines, the typical habitat of the market garden, the mills, the locks, the bridges. The municipality organizes various festivals: Festival à Tout Vent (the largest gathering of kites on the Atlantic coast), La Déferlante (street arts)... every summer and offers a different exhibition each year at the Jardin du Vent. But what families really like is the leisure aspect; indeed, here, water sports and nature walks are the spearhead of the resort, with notably original interactive and playful GPS walks.
