Office de Tourisme de la Tranche sur Mer

With more than 14 km of fine sandy beaches, La Tranche sur Mer is THE Vendée resort for enjoying unspoilt nature, far from the crowded beaches...

Situated opposite the Ile de Ré, between Les Sables d'Olonne and La Rochelle, the quality of its bathing water is rewarded year after year by the "Pavillon Bleu" label and "bathing water quality" certification.

La Tranche sur Mer's surfing spots are internationally renowned. Surf, kite, paddle... Whether you're a beginner or an amateur, find the sport that suits you! Many schools offer lessons and courses.

Far from the concrete embankments, "Little California", so nicknamed for its exceptional sunshine, has managed to retain an authentic family spirit.

In summer, the resort lives to the rhythm of its summer visitors. Stromae, Corneille, Michel Fugain... More than 100 free, open-air events keep the resort's pulse racing.

Spring, autumn and winter are much more intimate, ideal for recharging your batteries. Nature reigns supreme, and the mild weather is ideal for lovely walks. With over 35km of cycle paths, cycling is an excellent way to discover the different facets of the resort: forest, unspoilt nature, marshes and typical districts.
