Fishing near the campsite

A fisherman's paradise in the heart of the Vendée bocage

While the Val de Vie is known for its natural side, it's also for the fishing that travellers come to spend a few days here. Our small 4-star campsite is set in the heart of unspoilt nature. Fans of wide open spaces and greenery will feel right at home here. But those who will love our location are first and foremost fishing enthusiasts. We're just a few minutes from the town of Apremont (two minutes on foot to be precise). And who says Apremont, says lac d'Apremont. The latter is a mecca for fishing in the Vendée.

One of the largest lakes in the Vendée

The Lac d'Apremont is a place of relaxation, a haven of peace where the gentle way of life rhymes with calm and tranquillity. Covering an area of 1.67 km², you can enjoy a wide range of activities here, but it also offers excellent fishing conditions.

What better way to take time out for yourself than with this relaxing activity?
Fishing is often said to be the ideal way to relieve stress. This outdoor activity has its share of benefits. As a fisherman, you need to be able to sit still for long minutes before something happens, so it's a great time to relax. Get away from it all, give way to your emotions and leave your day-to-day concerns behind. As well as relaxing, fishing is also good for your physical health.
So what are you waiting for, get your fishing gear ready and set off for Lac d'Apremont?
