The waves of Hawaii, Australia, Portugal or Indonesia may be the most famous in the world, but the rollers of the Vendée and the Charente Maritime coasts leave nothing to be desired. Barbatre, Bud Bud, La Sauzaie, La Mine, Les Grenettes – so many wild coastlines and renowned surfing channels. There is something for every taste and every level of expertise from Noirmoutier to Oléron. So why not choose a long week of surfing à la française!
