Get ready! Campsites are gradually opening their 2025 bookings between mid-September and mid-November. See the list
Saint Gilles Croix de Vie is lively and charming, seaside town rich in seduction and surprises. There is so much to do there: walking along the quays soaking up the maritime air, relaxing and taking in the sunshine along the ocean beaches or wandering through the town centre with its casinos and typical markets spilling over with local products.
The very picturesque town centre of Saint Gilles Croix de Vie takes you back in time. History has left its mark here as is testified to in the 9th century church that was razed to the ground and rebuilt several times.
You will also be able to go on a boat trip form the harbour of Saint Gilles Croix de Vie, and visit the Ile d’Yeu. Camping holidays along the ocean – what could be better?
The charm of the Vendée will be utterly palpable during your camping holiday in Saint Gilles Croix de Vie: the local cuisine and its famous oysters, sardines and wine, the local savoir vivre and cultural heritage will delight young and old alike.
You can start your visit with a little walk taking in the magnificent 19th century villas in the
Corniche de Boisvinet district and walk around the Josephine lighthouse overlooking the harbour: apparently it brings good luck. End your day with a visit to the House of the Writers of the Sea right opposite the shore. Perhaps you will meet a sea rover!
