In addition to being a renowned family seaside resort, La Faute sur Mer is renowned for its magnificent natural areas. The Belle Henriette lagoon and the Pointe d'Arçay are among the most breathtaking nature reserves in the department. The latter, an arm 9 kilometres long, is a unique place of its kind, where many protected species live in harmony.

On the river side, the observatory of the Rade of Love is the perfect place to contemplate rare areas of migratory or nesting birds, as well as to discover the oyster and mussel parks that make up the landscape of the fautais. From this magnificent belvedere, an absolutely magnificent landscape awaits you on the oak forest, the Lay and the Baie de l'Aiguillon.

Because of its relatively flat relief, the Vendée has an immense network of cycle paths : it will be possible for you, notably from the Belle Henriette roundabout, to join Luçon by following its canal, but also the Marais Poitevin, the banks of the Lay and the coastal paths which will let you glimpse the splendours of La Faute sur Mer and its coast.

The cradle of mussel farming, La Faute sur Mer has an immense forest of bouchots which astonishes visitors as soon as the sea retreats and lets these mussel alignments appear, hung in swarms on stakes (also called "bouchots") embedded in the sand. A jewel of local gastronomy, these mussels with the sweet scent of hazelnuts can be tasted in all the good shops of La Faute sur Mer, accompanied by salicornes, eels, salad and Vendée brioche, mogette, prefu, local ham, roasted sardines and trouspinette, the famous local drink.
