The seaside town of Les Sables d'Olonne is located in the extreme south-west of the Vendee in Western Loire on the Cote de Lumiere. The town is known world-wide as the host of the Vendee Globe Solo round-the-world yacht race, and for its extensive harbour and marina facilities. For French property buyers looking for a luxury apartment or villa in France by the sea, Les Sables d'Olonne is certainly a location worthy of some serious consideration.
The expansive beach along the front of Les Sables d'Olonne is a major attraction for French and foreign tourists. During the summer months the beach entertains huge crowds that come here to soak up the seaside sunshine. Many French tourists also come to escape the intense heat that is so prolific across inland areas during June, July and August.
In the town itself, apartments along the beachfront are the most sought-after type of Les Sables d'Olonne property. They offer good access to the beach and marina, as well as providing Les Sables d'Olonne property owners with a reliable source of rental income, should they wish to capitalise on such an opportunity. However, if you're looking for coastal French property out of town, you'll find many quiet locations both north and south along the coastline where spectacular views of the sea are guaranteed.
