5NOIRMOUTIER

The Atlantic island of Noirmoutier is just off the Vendée section of coast and is an island of low-key bucket and spade fun.

It is connected to the mainland by a bridge and is a popular beach destination for the French mainlanders who love the vast sand dunes, salt pans, beach huts, and tidal pools. The shellfish round these parts are top-notch.
