Add your business details- In a pine forest four kilometres from Saint-Hilaire-de-Riez beach
- Bar, restaurant, shop, takeaway, fitness room and woodland walks
- Aquatic area with swimming pools, waterslides and a kids' pool
As you'll have gathered if you've ever spent time on the Vendée coast, the seaside town of Saint-Hilaire-de-Riez is a splendid spot. Add to that the leisurely facilities at Camping Au Bois des Biches – and it's a family Vendée seaside holiday sorted forthwith.
Camping Au Bois des Biches is four kilometres from Saint-Hilaire, and 10 minutes' drive from the famed sardine fishing village of Saint Gilles Croix de Vie. The region has stacks to do for all ages, from the casino at Saint Gilles to the Atlantic Toboggan waterpark at Saint-Hilaire; for day trips, the theme park of Puy du Fou (oh, so much a must) is an hour and 20 minutes' drive east.
But back to what's on site… Camping Au Bois des Biches has an aquatic area (supervised in July and August) with one indoor pool, two outdoor pools, two waterslides and a covered 100-square-metre paddling pool for the kids.
Among your many other leisurely picks here are sports activities by day and evening entertainment by night all arranged by the site team; puffing around the fitness room or tennis courts, or woodland walks and bike rides in the surrounding 10-hectare forest (hire a bike on site). There are also two kids' clubs for juniors to sprint off to while grownups repose (on lounger, with book, s'il vous plaît...?): one is for toddlers (aged three to five years) and one is for older children (aged six to 12 years).
As you'd expect, eats and drinks are fully sorted too, at the bar, restaurant, shop and takeaway – should you wish to, you could have your whole holiday right on site...

Local attractions
Start off your coastal adventures at Saint-Hilaire-de-Riez for the Atlantic Tobaggan waterpark and the slides, ziplines, trampolines and pony rides of the family park L'ile-aux-Jeux. Then mosey along to the coast's swish resort of Saint Gilles for its long sandy beach and plentiful watersports, enough to keep you occupied for at least a couple of days.
And after that? Saint Gilles is a fine fishing spot (charter a boat to bob out from the shore) and is the starting point for ferries to the scenic isle of Île d'Yeu – flocked to for centuries by artistic type. Another top option is the island of Noirmoutier (45 minutes' drive), walkable at low tide via the Passage du Gois.
Also recommended are rides along the old railway line via the velorail at Commequiers (15 minutes); the castle, lake and beach at Apremont (20 minutes), and a trip to Les Sables d’Olonne (45 minutes) to watch the boat races, zip along to the car museum and potter around the fishing port.
