reviews Angles (Vendee)

We there at end of holiday season so quite a lot had closed down. I'm sure it would be buzzing in the middle of the summer. Weather was great.

Traditional Vendean town with atmosphere and culture. The tourist office can update you on all that is happening in the area and the staff are informative and helpful. English id spoken. The ancient church often has concerts in the summer months. There is also a small cinema/theatre. A great centre only ten minutes from the lovely coast and the sandy beaches of the Vendee.

Four years ago we were visiting La Tranche Sur Mer when we stumbled on Angles. As we drove into the village we realised it was a place that had a heart and soul. So much so we purchased a house here. We spend as much time as we can in Angles. Yes, in the winter months like any other French village it is quiet, but from Easter onwards it comes alive. August is a special month with street entertainment and festivals every week.

It is only 10 minutes from the supurb beaches at Les Conches and Les Rocher. The chic resorts of La Rochelle and Les Sables D'olonne are 40 minutes away. The flat countryside makes it ideal for cycling. In May and June the wild life is at its best with wonderful displays of Black Kites and nesting Storks. The numerous waterways of the Marais Potovin provide excellent fishing.

If you have an opportunity to visit this village do so...you will not regret it.

Camp-site just outside of Angles: Port de Moricq, is a 3 star camping, but this is just not right. Messy and dirty camp-site. Certainly not worth 3 stars. Area is very good, and there are enough things see in the surroundings. Beach is okay.

It is a neat village with only those shops that are necessary for maintenance. Some restaurants with very reasonable prices. Do not expect nighlife, that is not present at all. Antiques shop and wine farm are also present. Nothing special, but nice and qu
