What to do in Château-d’Olonne, Vendée?

In 1107, the Duke of Aquitaine authorized the monks to establish a monument in honor of John the Baptist and Saint Mary. Burned and looted several times, it was purchased by the commune of Château-d’Olonne and restored starting in 1989.

The latter includes several remarkable natural sites such as the Puits de l’Enfer, a chasm in the rock where the ocean surges at high tide. A promenade suitable for children, the elderly, and people with reduced mobility has been created around the Baie de Cayola.
