Exclusively for site guests… that's the flavour of both the peaceful and private path from Camping de la Plage de Riez and the splendid sandy beach it reaches 200 metres away, on the Vendée coast's spectacular Côte de Lumière near the popular and pretty seaside resort of Saint-Hilaire-de-Riez. Have a hol here for easy access to Saint-Hilaire-de-Riez and other seaside towns like Saint Gilles Croix de Vie and Saint-Jean-de-Monts, hundreds of kilometres of golden Atlantic coast beaches carved out along this part of France, and famed French destinations like Les Sables d'Olonne and Nantes within about an hour. Camping de la Plage de Riez is a family-friendly and well-equipped site, set in a forest. It has good family facilities of an outdoor pool heated for most of the season, a multisports field, playgrounds and a TV room. A snack bar, takeaway and food shop are open in July and August. Bike paths surround the site and bike hire is available. The small seaside resort of Sion-sur-Ocean is about 15 minutes' walk away along the beach: that's a mighty pretty and peaceful walk too...
