Saint-Jean-de-Monts, in the Vendée department, in Pays de la Loire, is one of the largest seaside resorts on the Vendée coast. The twenty-two campsites listed in the town, all by the sea, make it one of the densest destinations on the whole portal, built around a sandy beach that stretches for kilometres.
Camping in Saint-Jean-de-Monts means enjoying direct ocean access, on a seafront laid out for walking and cycling, backed by a state-owned forest that shelters the town from the wind and the sea's assaults. This combination of beach and pine forest largely explains the resort's lasting popularity with families.
The number of campsites here reflects how important the resort is in the landscape of Vendée tourism, with an offering ranging from the simplest addresses to the best equipped.
Saint-Jean-de-Monts' large beach, several kilometres long, remains the town's main attraction, backed by a long promenade seawall popular with walkers and cyclists. The Pays de Monts state forest, planted with pines to hold back the dunes in the nineteenth century, offers a shaded setting just behind the seafront.
On the beach, remnants of the Atlantic Wall can still be seen in places, a reminder of the German occupation during the Second World War on this strategic coastline. The many cycle paths that cross the forest and run along the coast make it easy to head out to neighbouring towns.
The town comes especially alive in summer around its market and evening events, while keeping, out of season, the calmer atmosphere of a family resort built around its beach and forest.
