About Les Sables d'Olonne
Les Sables d'Olonne is a proper town on the Côte de Lumière, not a village with a beach. The homes sit close together around it. Port Olona shelters 1,100 boats, restaurants line the harbour and a fish auction runs early on weekday mornings. Across the channel, La Chaume is the oldest quarter, a fishing village with narrow lanes and low whitewashed houses. A passenger boat shuttles between the two quays, with two extra lines added in July and August. A yearly programme of concerts, dance and theatre fills the evenings.
Is Les Sables d'Olonne right for you?
- Best for
- Couples and small families who like a harbour town
- Not for you if
- You need a big group home, since few homes here sleep more than eight.
