Go to Les Sables d'Olonne starting from the Camping du Parc de la Grève
You can go directly to the Sables d'Olonne by taking the D42 passing in front of the campsite. But if you have time, then we advise you to go along the coast from La Sauzaie, crossing Bretignolles and Brem with this magnificent view of the sea, then to cross the pine forest of Olonne, with its smells and its freshness...
For the more adventurous, cycling is also a possible option! Join La Sauzaie by the signposted path from the campsite, and follow the Vélodyssey to Les Sables d'Olonne. (About 1h30, maps available at the reception)
