Cycling on Ile d’Yeu and Mountain biking
Ile d’Yeu: the island ile d’Yeu is ideal for cycling. There are many bike-rental companies on the island. The island L’ile d’Yeu is 10 by 4 kilometres (6 by 2.5 miles), therefore one can explore the whole island by bike in one day. The boats leave from Fromentine, which is approximately 10 kilometres (6 miles) from our house.
Mountain biking: for the mountain bikers there are several routes in the dunes and woods of St-Jean-de-Monts (18 kilometres/11 miles from our house) and Notre-dame-de-Monts (10 kilometres/6 miles from our house).
Velorail
Velorail: for those who wish to experience a different way of cycling, there is the Velorail (website www.velorail-vendee.fr) in Commequiers (25 kilometres/18 miles from our house). Discover the countryside over 10 km/6 mile of former railway line, travelling in railcars taking 2-5 persons each. You power the railcar by pedalling, as you would with a pedal boat. Reserving in advance is advised during summer which we will gladly do for you.
