Saint-Hilaire-de-Riez

Saint-Hilaire-de-Riez stretches along 13 kilometers of Atlantic coastline, featuring three nautical bases and extensive cycling paths through the Pays de Monts forest.

The area evolved from prehistoric settlements to a fishing village, later developing into an administrative center within the canton of Saint-Gilles-Croix-de-Vie.

The Bourrine du Bois Juquaud eco-museum presents regional heritage through traditional houses with cob walls and thatched reed roofs from past centuries.

Visitors can access multiple beaches for swimming and water sports, with designated parking areas and rental facilities available throughout the seaside area.

The Corniche Vendéenne coastal path leads to geological formations including the Trou du Diable and the five massive rocks known as 5 Pineaux.
