I must tell you to be prepared for mosquitoes. Vend�e has loads of them. I use repellent cream and carry one of those high whistle mosquito things and am fine. If you don't you might find they'll spoil your holiday which is such a shame as it's a lovely region. It's great for bike riding as it's so flat. If you want a really good day out, take the ferry from Fromentine to L'�le d'Yeu it's beautiful. You can hire bikes there. Hope you have a lovely holiday
