Car Hire in Challans - Mini guide to Challans

Challans

Despite being second largest town in the French Vendée department after La Roche-sur-Yon, Challans is not very well known among tourists. A major commercial hub thanks to its location at the crossing of eight main roads, Challans flourishes economically from its corn-fed poultry and duck.

A great base to explore the beaches of the Atlantic Ocean and the Vendée marsh lands, Challans offers idyllic countryside that surrounds the commune, ideal for those into nature. The coast of Vendée boasts almost 100 miles of white, sandy beaches meaning travellers can find a private space to perfect their tan.

A convenient weekend getaway from the humdrum of city life, Challans gives tourists an opportunity to explore the lovely department of Vendée department by hire car. Home to busy holiday resorts such as the famous Saint-Jean-de-Monts with its golf course and La Tranche-sur-Mer, the Vendée is also rich with forests. The area around the village Mervent and the scenic countryside of the Bocage are not to be missed.

Wine lovers will also find the Vendée particularly interesting as this area is a major producer of wine sold under the Fiefs Vendéens label. If time permits, hop in your rental car and make a daytrip to one of many vineyards around the region and try the lip-smacking local wine and signature duck dish from Challons, which is renowned in the world of gastronomy.

As Challans doesn’t have many things to attract tourists, hiring a car is highly recommended. The Vendée department has a myriad of pastoral venues and a variety of activities to keep active travellers busy. For the best car hire rates in Challons, book online in advance.
