Hiking: The Vendee offers many hiking trails where dogs are welcome. For example, the coastal footpath along the Vendee coast or the Mervent forest footpath, which takes in some magnificent scenery.
Parks and gardens: Several parks and gardens in the Vendee are dog-friendly. For example, the Court d'Aron floral and tropical park, near Saint-Cyr-en-Talmondais, where you can take your dog for a walk and admire the exotic gardens.
Water sports: If you enjoy water sports, you can find water sports centres that accept dogs. For example, some surf schools in La Tranche-sur-Mer allow dog owners to take part in surf lessons with their four-legged companions.
