8 miles inland of St Gilles Croix de Vie, Coéx is well placed for exploring the region. |
|
A small town of 2,500 inhabitants, its shops, cafe-bars and restaurants cater for most daily needs. The nationally acclaimed botanical gardens |
|
are well worth a visit and also provide a children's play |
|
area. Horse riding and the 18-hole golf course "Golf des Fontenelles" are available only 3 miles from Coéx centre. |
|
While for walkers and cyclists there are numerous well sign posted routes along country lanes and bridleways where the only traffic is most likely to be a farm tractor. There are also many dedicated cycle paths across the whole of the region. |
|
The nearby lakes of Apremont and Jaunay offer facilities for bathing, fishing, sailing, windsurfing, |
|
picnics and country walks. As well as the lake, with its sandy beach, Apremont village boasts a partly-restored chateau. During the summer months, the observation room at the top of the nearby water tower offers a breathtaking panorama. |
|
The region resisted the French Revolution of 1793 another are many reminders of that period when many Vendéens lost their lives. Roche Sur Yon was designated the Departmental capital by Napoleon and many of the public buildings date from that period. |
|
It remains the Vendéen capital, and has a partly pedestrianised shopping area, as well as edge of town shopping. |
