Vendee region in a campervan

Being a motorhome enthusiast for five years now

, I've always dreamt of that extended trip of twelve weeks or so in the Vendee region. Being a self employed builder, I finally realised that I was in a position to make this dream a reality. My wife Amanda and our faithful dog Rex were more than willing to be travel partners on this trip of a lifetime. So after much research, planning and packing we were finally on the road to Vendee.

My motorhome is a six year old four berth, A Class CI with a Fiat Ducato engine and our previous longest trip was a seven night trip to Wales, covering 800 kilometres. This trip started with a rough ferry trip, to take us to the continent, followed by a pleasant but long road journey to our destination. We decided to make five overnight stops on our way there and these were mainly in campsites, which suited us perfectly, as it broke up our journey. One feature of the journey was finding the local fuel prices very consistent, but certainly cheaper than we have been used to on other trips. Our Magellan satellite navigation system was pretty useful, although traditional maps are a must on a journey of this type. In fact we used maps mostly for navigation and the sat nav to identify nearby fuel stations.

On arrival at our destination, our first impressions were satisfactory. The small, commercially run campsite clearly had absolutely all the amenities we required and was very like the pictures in the online website that we had viewed in our preparation. For a site with one hundred or so pitches, we found the staff rather friendly and the site was very quiet even during the day. The weather was very good, considering that we travelled in June. The local market each Friday was a great source of fruit, vegetables, meat and cheeses.

The overall experience was an enjoyable one and I would thoroughly recommend a motorhome holiday at Vendee.
