La Faute-sur-Mer.
La
Faute-sur-mer. Across the river Lay from Aiguillon-sur-mer this seaside
town boast one of best beaches in the Vendee,some good restaurants and one
of the largest mussel farms in France.
This purpose built holiday resort is the last beach in the Vendee as you head south, it is on a sandy pennisular with the Atlantic Ocean to the west, the river Lay to the East and the pennisular ends at the point d'arcay in the gulf of Picton.
To protect the sands from erosion the dunes were planted with pine and evergreen oak trees which makes for great walks. The southern end of the point d'Arcay is a protected nature reserve and annually thousands of migrating birds stop over here.
