  Beach at St Jean de Monts

 

Les Genets is a 4 star site, approximately 800 metres (about 10 minutes walk) from       long glorious sandy beaches. These  beaches are ideal for sunbathing, swimming, windsurfing & sailing. The pool complex includes an indoor and outdoor pool, with        slides and cascading water waves.

We have  2 and 3 bedroomed cottage style mobile homes, on sandy emplacements, mostly set in light shade. Most of our homes have verandas which would cost a             little extra.

                 

                                

The campsite offers a relaxed family atmosphere set in a wooded  park. In high         season there is organized entertainment provided during the day and at night time.        This site is ideal for children of all ages.

 Also at close proximity is the Atlantic Toboggan water park.

Close by is the St Jean de Monts golf course offering an excellent 18 hole course.

 

 

 
       

Near to the site entrance is crazy golf and carrying on towards the  Plage de Mouettes and Merlin Plage beaches are cafes, restaurants, a supermarket, bike hire, and shops. A family fun-fair is about 10 minutes walk away. The area provides  opportunities for walking, cycling, quad biking & pony trekking ( available at local equestrian centre).

 

The Vendee area is also well known as having the most sunshine on the Western Coast of France.

Thanks for the good holiday at Les Genets. The caravan was in good condition and very clean. The site was nice and the kids had a great time at the club, in the pools, on the park and at the beach, which was brill, being so close.    Mrs C.B.

just arrived hm from our holiday at les genets. it was a fantastic site- very suitable for our 3 young children, with lots to do both there and in the immediate vicinity.  the new mobile home was really very nice and absolutely immaculate, and jeff and elaine made us feel most welcome and were very helpful during our stay there.  

the mobile, the site and the service exceeded our expectations and we would have no hesitation in recommending it to our friends in the future, and indeed using quest en france again ourselves. Mrs B.H.
