A.Lamoureux – La Pointe d’Ar\u00e7ay<\/p><\/div>\n

The Pointe d’Ar\u00e7ay reserve in southern Vend\u00e9e<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The Pointe d’Ar\u00e7ay is a unique area classified as a Biological Reserve (RBD-ONF), Hunting and Wildlife Reserve (RCFS-OFB) and Public Maritime Domain. It lies to the south of the commune of La Faute-sur-Mer, in the heart of the Poitevin marshlands. This haven of peace and wilderness is the perfect escape from the crowds of seaside resorts. <\/p>\n

Outside species breeding and nesting periods, the Office Nationale des For\u00eats (ONF) offers guided tours, bookable at the tourist office. This is an opportunity for nature lovers to discover an ecological heritage that is unique in France, and an essential site for migratory birds on an international scale. <\/p>\n

On the road to the Pointe d’Ar\u00e7ay, in the Lay estuary, the Conservatoire du Littoral has set up an observation area with an interpretation trail, the Rade d’Amour, accessible all year round. The hiking trail allows you to observe the habitats of various bird species. Make the most of your mobile home rental holiday in La Tranche-sur-Mer<\/a> to discover this area rich in biodiversity. <\/p>\n

Walks, beaches and leisure activities on the Marais Poitevin peninsula<\/strong><\/h2>\n

While visiting the Pointe d’Ar\u00e7ay<\/strong> is a privilege for hiking and birdwatching, these are not the only leisure activities you can enjoy. As cars are not allowed on the reserve, you’re better off cycling or walking. Let yourself be tempted by a boat trip, and dock at the Pointe d’Ar\u00e7ay for a swim or picnic. Or canoe down the Lay estuary to Plage des B\u00e9lugas! <\/p>\n

With its 12 km length, Plage des B\u00e9lugas is a well-known spot<\/em> in Vend\u00e9e for sand yachting. And don’t forget that at the tip of the peninsula is one of the most beautiful naturist beaches in the Vend\u00e9e, stretching for 3 kilometers under the shelter of the dunes. If you were wondering what to do in La Tranche-sur-Mer<\/a> during your vacation, rest assured. Between coastline and forest, the Vend\u00e9e is bursting with exceptional sites! <\/p>\n
