Your Holiday - Activities

All season LPO hosts walkers, runners, cyclists and bikers. LPO is a great base from which to explore the Vendée.

This week we share some of our favourite routes and we will lead you on one each day. So ride to Sion, walk to Le Jaunay, run the Gué Grand, bike to Les Sables or plan your own journey (journée).

This holiday is accessible for all abilities from the most casual walker to more serious Garmin, Kamoot, Strava, Run Keeper users. All are welcome!

For several years this last holiday week of the LPO season was titled the Biker's holiday. We still hope that some motorcyclists will join us to do their own exploring of the Vendée region together.
