This greenway offers an alternative route to the Vélodyssée cycle route, which runs along the coast and through the center of St Gilles Croix de Vie. In the densely populated tourist area of the seaside resorts, this route provides access to numerous neighborhoods in the towns of St Gilles, St Hilaire de Riez, and Givrand. This offers a wealth of accommodation options in the area's many diverse tourist lodgings (campsites, hotels, guesthouses, villas, bed and breakfasts), some of which are located inland. Along the way, the route passes the salt marshes of the Vie River to the east of St Gilles. If you continue on the shared path for 6 km beyond Givrand, you can connect to the Coex - La Roche sur Yon greenway and reach the capital of the Vendée department. A useful, alternative, and enjoyable option.
