The gentle breeze, the smell of salt, the unique light of the Vendée coast… The journey begins, even before you park your vehicle.

And to park your bike in complete peace of mind, the Noirmoutier-en-l'île service area awaits you. Spacious pitches, a peaceful setting, and comprehensive services: you're at home here.

Heritage, nature and comfort: everything you need for a successful campervan stay

An island to explore without rushing

Noirmoutier isn't an island where you tick boxes at top speed. It's a corner of France where you take the time . To stroll. To taste. To meet people.

Noirmoutier has this rare gift of pleasing all types of travelers... especially when you like to take your time.

Do you enjoy cycling or walking ? The cycle paths will take you through the woods, marshes, and small ports typical of the island.

Are you more of a shore shoveler ? Wait for the high tides to head out in search of cockles and clams, boots on and basket in hand.

Rather old stones and heritage ? The medieval castle , the narrow streets with blue shutters and the lively markets of the city center will charm you.

Fancy a break by the sea? Settle down your chair facing the Plage des Dames , or settle down at the Bois de la Chaise , in the shade of the pine trees, lulled by the sound of the waves.

And you can experience all this on foot, by bike, or from your camper van, without having to worry about parking .
