Slow tourism at La Tranche-sur-Mer: when nature becomes your program

What if your next vacation rhymed with slowness and serenity? At La Tranche-sur-Mer, a small seaside resort in the Vendée, slow tourism takes on its full meaning. Between unspoilt dunes, bicycle paths and sunsets over the ocean, you can enjoy the simple luxury of taking your time.

Stay at a quiet campsite in La Tranche-sur-Mer, Camping Le Bellevue, a 3-star establishment on a human scale where nature and well-being are at the heart of every stay. Here, everything invites you to slow down, breathe and live each moment to the full, facing the ocean.

Slow tourism, an art of living in La Tranche-sur-Mer

Taking the time to breathe, to walk barefoot on the sand, to marvel at the changing skies… that’s the spirit of slow tourism.

At La Tranche-sur-Mer, this philosophy comes naturally. Here, there are no noisy crowds or hustle and bustle: just the murmur of the waves, the scent of the pine forest and the song of the seagulls.

The Vendée offers an ideal setting for slowing down:

  • Protected natural areas, such as the Réserve de la Belle Henriette, where herons and egrets can be observed at dawn.
  • Explore authentic villages by bike, between local markets and picturesque ports.
  • A preserved coastline where every path invites contemplation.

When you stay at Camping Le Bellevue, you’re choosing a place on a human scale, where you can relax and reconnect with yourself. Here, the pace is set by the sea and the wind, far from the hustle and bustle of the big tourist resorts.

Nature walks and simple moments: the perfect program

At La Tranche-sur-Mer, you’ll find everything you need to enjoy the good life. From the campsite, it’s easy to cycle or hike to the most beautiful routes along the Vendée coast.

Cycling the Vélodyssée

The Vélodyssée runs alongside the ocean, through dunes and forests. It’s the ideal way to soak up the scenery and breathe in the sea air. Take a break on a wild beach, or in a small café facing the waves.

Walking between ocean and marsh

Explore the trails of the Marais Poitevin or the Réserve de la Belle Henriette: a veritable sanctuary for bird and nature lovers.

Camping Le Bellevue offers gentle, relaxing activities, perfect for prolonging the slow, soothing spirit of your stay.
