Vendée Vélo is the cycling initiative of the Conseil départemental de la Vendée, promoting bicycle travel as a way to explore the region. Supported by a long-term departmental policy to develop cycling infrastructure, the network is designed to offer comfortable and safe routes for a range of visitors. Its paths cross Vendée’s varied landscapes, from the coast and the Marais Poitevin to marshland, forests and bocage countryside, inviting cyclists to discover the area at their own pace.

The website helps sporty riders, casual cyclists, families and other visitors find routes suited to their interests. Its resources include the Guide Vendée Vélo, featuring 79 cycling routes and 29 loops across the department, as well as practical advice for planning a ride, understanding route signs and cycling safely. Visitors can also explore information about the Accueil Vélo label, travelling to Vendée by train, and major national cycling routes. By combining route guidance with preparation resources, Vendée Vélo makes it easier to plan a cycling holiday or day trip throughout the region.
