With some great road trip options in the surrounding area, renting a car makes good sense. Without one, it’d be much harder to experience everything that Plage des Pierres Noires, 60 miles away, has to offer. Casino Les Sables d’Olonne, Saint-Nicolas-de-Brem Church and Casino JOA les Pins alone make the drive out worth it. The locals are also likely to point you in the direction of Crique de Préfailles, 40 miles away. If you only see one attraction here, let it be Tharon Beach. (But we’re also big fans of Semaphore de la Pointe Saint Gildas and Le Cure Nantais.)
