I recommend the Sauveterre Riding Centre and the nearby wilderness coast for horseback riding enthusiasts. At low tide the beach is wonderful, and if you are a dog owner, please note that dogs are allowed. There is also the beach of Veillon which is beautiful with its small lagoons, there is something to eat if you want to spend the day there, paid parking if no space outside. There is a rather typical restaurant also, it is necessary to go there at least once it is "La Sainte Émilienne" in Olonnes sur Mer, impossible to find this restaurant alone ! it is in the pampas !
