A popular, family-run parc next to the longest beach in the Vendée - ideal for younger children.

Camping Bel is a small parc, just a short stroll from La Tranche-sur-Mer, with a friendly, relaxed atmosphere. The gently shelving beach nearby is quite superb and is ideal for swimming, windsurfing or simply relaxing.

Poplar trees provide shade throughout, making the parc a popular choice. The facilities on-parc are extremely well maintained and you can spend long care free days relaxing on the sun terrace by the attractive pool. The sports facilities include half tennis courts and an outdoor fitness course.

Only conventional swimwear, such as swimming trunks are allowed in the pool. The Vendée is an ideal place to try your hand at watersports or sea fishing. La Tranche sur Mer is an attractive holiday resort boasting the longest southfacing beach in the Vendée. Further afield, a trip to the ancient port of La Rochelle, with its narrow streets and fortified harbour is a must. Just 300m from the parc, there is a new waterpark with indoor and outdoor pools (there is a charge for entry).
