Local Directions

When driving from Challans, heading towards St Jeans de Monts on the D753 you will drive through a small village called Le Perrier. Approx 4.5 km after Le Perrier you arrive at a roundabout. Take the 3rd exit signposted Sables D’Olonne and St Gille-Croix-de Vie (not the 2nd exit for St Jeans-de-Monts). Continue straight and at the first roundabout take the 2nd exit straight on. At the next roundabout take the first exit. Continue to the next roundabout taking the 2nd exit heading for Sables D’Olonne. Continue for about 3km and you will come to the village of Orouet. Turn right at the Oasis restaurant/hotel . If you drive out of Orouet, you have gone too far! Drive along a winding country road for about 1km where you should turn left sign-posted 'La Yole' (The turning is hidden behind a left-hand bend). The campsite is 600 yards along this road on the left-hand side.
