Focus on the Gois Passage
This 4.5 km long submersible road, which connects Beauvoir-sur-Mer and the island of Noirmoutier, is one of the emblematic sites of Vendée! In season, guided tours the Gois Pass and the allow you to discover the site safely. At low tide, it is the perfect place for fishing on foot.
Be careful, however, not to be surprised by the rising waters and follow the safety instructions because it would be a shame not to be able to return to the campsite!
Every year in July, the running, “The Crowds of the Gois” attracts thousands of athletes who find themselves feet in the water during a spectacular face-to-face between Man and nature. Also in July, don’t miss the fireworks fired from the passage of the Gois, a beautiful pyrotechnic musical show!
