Product Description

Book Description

A friendly and informative guide designed to help visitors make the most of their time in the sunny Vendee - a popular area of France's Atlantic coast.


From the Author

I hope everyone will find something to enjoy among the suggestions in this book. I have revisited every corner of the Vendee unearthing new attractions and returning to check out old favourites. I share with readers my favourite shops, markets and - for the first time - restaurants, and present a Top Twenty list of places that I could not bear you to miss...

5.0 out of 5 stars wouldn't visit the Vendee without it, 17 Jan 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: English Family Guide to the Vendee and Surrounding Area (Paperback)
Our copy of this book becomes ever more battered as we take it (or it takes us) round the Vendee time and again. Small and light enough to carry with you, it details everything - from themeparks , museums and the smartest resorts to oyster beds, break-of-dawn canoe trips and particularly eccentric cafes. Not only that, it tells you when, how much, and what you will see on the way. Breathtakingly spectacular, bizarre or charming, if it is in the Vendee, it is in this book.
Clear, concise , easy to use and easy to read. With lots of background and practical information, I can hardly imagine visiting the Vendee without it.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Vendee, 15 Aug 2002
By MRS J E CLAYTON (Preston, Lancashire United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: English Family Guide to the Vendee and Surrounding Area (Paperback)
This was an excellent book to take on holiday. The information was second to none. Angela Bird has certainly done her homework. Before we left England the kids had read it and written a list of where they wanted to visit. When we got there, we then shortlisted them and armed with the book, set out and had a really good time. For anyone visitng the Vendee this book is a must, definately not boring and quite humerous in places. The family in the caravan next to us were going to buy a copy when they went back home. As it was, there were 6 families looking at it in an evening and writing down instuctions so that they could visit they day after.
Well done Angela and thankyou.
