Easy and enjoyable, it offers a wonderful introduction to this charming resort in the Vendée. As you walk along the trail, let yourself be charmed by Fromentine’s authentic character: its iconic metal lighthouse, its unique villas lining the promenade, and its “Oyster Farmers’ Trail,” which is rustic and unpretentious. The atmosphere is peaceful, steeped in maritime culture, and the stretch through the national forest perfectly rounds out this nature getaway.
