From the Author
I hope this guidebook will enhance your experience of the Vendee - whether you are a first-time holiday visitor or are lucky enough to spend longer each year in this delightfully relaxed part of western France.
But first of all, a word to the Scots, Irish, Welsh - and to any anglophones from farther afield... The subtitle of the book ("An English Family Guide") is not designed to annoy you! The word "English" merely refers to the language in which the guide is written. The Vendean publisher is compelled to include it at the insistence of bookshops that sell it in the Vendee.
I actually wrote the guide almost for myself, as a way of pulling together all the odd bits of knowledge gleaned over 30 years' holiday-home-ownership! I was tired of rummaging through endless leaflets to find opening hours and phone numbers of attractions, and of being unable to locate the most obscure (but often the most interesting) sights, tucked away down winding backroads. I also yearned to understand the destructive post-Revolutionary Vendee Wars, and to be able to put my hand easily on such vital facts as how long to cook crabs or langoustines. So all this information, and more, lies within its covers.
To help you find an outing not too far from the place you are staying, I have divided this large French county into six sections. And in this new edition I have included phone and fax numbers of tourist offices (in case you need information in advance of your holiday), a schedule of market days (so you can easily find one nearby for a particular morning) and - in view of today's concerns about food production - information on shops' labelling of food that would correspond to "organic" in Britain.
Judging by the wonderful comments I have received in person and by e-mail since the first edition appeared, the book has become the "bible" for most English-speaking people visiting the area. I trust you will find something for everybody in its pages - whether you are golfers or culture hounds, foodies or fishing fantatics, or parents of toddlers or teenagers.
And I hope you find it as useful as I do myself !

Store description
In 2002, World of Books Group was founded on an ethos to do good, protect the planet and support charities by enabling more goods to be reused. Since then, we've grown into to a global company pioneering the circular economy. Today, we drive the circular economy through three re-commerce brands: - Wob: Through Wob, we sell. We provide affordable, preloved books and media to customers all over the world. A book leaves our collection of over seven million titles and begins a new chapter every two seconds, enabling more goods to be reused. - Ziffit: Through Ziffit, we buy. We give people around the world the opportunity to contribute to the circular economy, earn money and protect the planet, by trading their unwanted books and media. - Shopiago: Through Shopiago, we help others. By sharing the technology that has grown World of Books Group into the business it is today, we’re helping charities increase revenue and reduce waste through re-commerce.…
