Our Gite in St Gervais is situated in an area of the Vendée that is a walkers and cyclist’s paradise. Quiet country roads and narrow lanes crisscross the marais, countryside and coastline and there are over 100 km of defined cycle tracks (pistes cyclable) in the local area as well as over 300 km of walking routes that can also be shared by cyclists.
In the Gite you will find detailed maps of the area including cycle routes and ‘Sentiers de Randonnée’ (walking trails and tracks). There are nineteen local sentiers de randonnée ranging from only 6 km right up to 36 km for the serious walker. You will find detailed route maps for all the walks in the Gite. There is plenty of safe, secure parking for bikes attached to the Gite.
Please click the red square links on the map to access maps of ‘Les Sentiers Cyclables’ (cycling routes), all of which are within easy reach of the gite. For other cycling routes just click anywhere on the map. Unfortunately, there is no web link to the walking routes but detailed maps are available in the Gite or you can purchase your own from the local Office de Tourisme for approximately 2 euros.
