Les Sables d'Olonne : a maritime destiny

Ce que dit l'éditeur

If Les Sables-d'Olonne has risen to the rank of darling of the Atlantic coast between Royan in the South and La Baule to the North, it's true to say that, just as tirelessly as the waves have beaten its shores, so the town has gradually forged an entirely maritime identity.

The resort has learned how to adapt to changing times and if the descendants of this sea-going people, have been somewhat submerged by the flow of incomers, the Sablais and Chaumois mentalities still persist in the genes, making La Chaume and Le Passage, two havens of calm, solidly anchored in local tradition, despite their turbulent history.
