Being a coastal departement , in the markets you will find a superb choice of fish and seafood, caught daily. You will also find a wide range of wholesome vegetables with real flavour.

There are many wine producers in the Vendee, centred on several main areas, including Mareuil-sur-Lay , Brem-sur-Mer and Pissotte. You can often visit the producers directly for wine-tasting, and we would recommend a visit to the newly restored ' cave ' Marie du Fou, next to the river bridge at Mareuil-sur-Lay - offering some particularly good wines.

You will find a wide selection of restaurants throughout the Vendee, offering an excellent choice of classic French cuisine or regional specialities. Take a tour round the local town, or through neigbouring villages and you will stumble accross many excellent value restaurants, full of local character.

Lovers of fish and seafood will find superb choice of seafood restaurants at the coast - the local mussels, are served in dozens of different ways and are reputed to be some of the best in France. Many restaurants also offer basic children's menus and simple dishes tailored for children. See Angela Bird's review of good restaurants. Our personal favourite: " Au Fil des Saisons " at Lucon.
