Sorry, it's been 14 years since i went (down in La Tranche sur Mer). We did go to Les Sables and I remember they (of course) had excellent seafood there, but cannot remember the names of anywhere in particular). The beaches down in La Tranche sur Mer were brilliant, with not many people there. I think it's a good place for kite surfing if you're into that.
We also drove down to La Rochelle on our trip, as its one of my fave places in France, but it's close to 2 hours away from Les Sables i'd imagine.
Are you taking a bike? Its a nice place to cycle.

Thanks. No bikes unfortunately, two kids instead. We were thinking about La Rochelle for a trip. I haven’t been there since I was 7 and spent a full 6 hours in the company of the local gendarmes after falling asleep on a bench and my family fucking off without me. 6 hours is a long time thinking you’ve got to learn French and fend for yourself from now on.

Heading to the Vendée for a couple weeks, not far from Les Sables-d'Olonne. Any recommendations for anyone who's visited or knows the area would be gratefully received.
