Two weeks ago, I spent a few days in Les Sables d'Olonne, and it was very lovely. I took a walk on the "Remblai" and I admired the view of the ocean. Then, I visited the picturesque town centre, and I sat at a terrace to enjoy some delicious seafood. I loved its traditional architecture, with its pretty fisherman's houses and the marina's colourful boats. I highly recommend Les Sables d'Olonne [to you]!
