    Paperback. Condición: New. New from Bradt is the thoroughly updated second edition of The Vendée, the only English-language guidebook to focus on this part of Pays de la Loire. Also covered in this guide to an increasingly popular French region are Nantes, Pornic, La Rochelle and the Île de Ré. Written by Angela Bird, who for almost 50 years has owned a home in the region, and award-winning travel writer Murray Stewart, and updated by adventurer Ed Cooper, Bradt's guidebook offers comprehensive coverage of a beguiling area, detailing everything from family holidays to walks, cycling, local cuisine and history. The Vendée offers all the benefits of a destination that is well established with both French and British visitors, with easy access and short drive times via UK ferries adding to its appeal. Popular with campers and self-caterers, the Vendée's sunny climate and 140 km of sandy beaches, plus its tree-lined canals and open marshland, make for a diverse outdoor playground. Bradt's The Vendée includes suggestions for walks and the best places for birdwatching. This goes hand in hand with a new regional policy of promoting recreation premised on nature and wellbeing. Thanks to the authors' rich personal history with the area, the guide also reveals the quirks and themes which give the Vendée its own distinct character, as well as straying just beyond the area's boundaries to incorporate La Rochelle and Nantes, both entry points for those arriving by air and both offering urban distractions for the occasional rainy day. Although the region has no true cities, or even large towns, the guide includes details of the many local museums which provide easily accessible insights into the bloody history of an area which has, at times, been central to the evolution of modern-day France.New elements in this edition of Bradt's The Vendée include expanded coverage of France's most dazzling son-et-lumière show and new restaurant listings that reflect the region's growing reputation for wine and Michelin-starred eateries, as well as its long history as a paradise for seafood-lovers. …

AUTHORS: During a camping holiday in France in 1970, Angela Bird idly scanned an estate agent's window (as you do) and noticed a whole house on sale for 1,200. She and her husband jettisoned their aged tent, equipped themselves with a hefty DIY book, and began a 50-year love affair with the Vendee. Although her children longed to holiday on Vendee beaches, Bird couldn't sit still for long so would drag them to markets, menhirs, castles and windmills. (Her kids learned to dread the words: 'While we're here, why don't we just visit.?') In 1995 Bird wrote her first guidebook to the area, the bestselling English Family Guide to the Vendee, which ran to four editions before transferring to the Bradt stable. For four years she was also Vendee correspondent for the French publication Cote Ouest. In the UK, she has worked for The Illustrated London News and Country Living magazines. Murray Stewart spent two months living and travelling around the Vendee and its borders, researching and writing the first edition of Bradt's guidebook to the area. When his legs were significantly younger, he enjoyed cycling holidays on the flat coastal terrain along the Vendean Atlantic coast. Murray wrote Bradt's Basque Country and Navarre: France and Spain, which won the British Guild of Travel Writers' Best Travel Guidebook of 2016. He has also updated Bradt guidebooks to North Cyprus, Cape Verde and the Azores. Murray has written for national travel magazines and online publications, and produced copy for French tourist boards and hotels. A near-fluent French speaker, he spends part of the year living in the Minervois in southern France. Edward Cooper is an award-winning researcher who holds a Masters in Internation Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

    Taschenbuch. Condición: Neu. Neuware - New from Bradt is the thoroughly updated second edition of The Vendée, the only English-language guidebook to focus on this part of Pays de la Loire. Also covered in this guide to an increasingly popular French region are Nantes, Pornic, La Rochelle and the Île de Ré. Written by Angela Bird, who for almost 50 years has owned a home in the region, and award-winning travel writer Murray Stewart, and updated by adventurer Ed Cooper, Bradt's guidebook offers comprehensive coverage of a beguiling area, detailing everything from family holidays to walks, cycling, local cuisine and history. The Vendée offers all the benefits of a well-established destination that makes for a diverse outdoor playground, given its sunny climate, 140 km of sandy beaches, tree-lined canals and open marshland. Bradt's The Vendée includes suggestions for walks and the best places for birdwatching. This goes hand in hand with the current regional policy of promoting recreation premised on nature and wellbeing. Thanks to the authors' rich personal history with the area, the guide also reveals the quirks and themes which give the Vendée its own distinct character, as well as straying just beyond the area's boundaries to incorporate La Rochelle and Nantes, both entry points for those arriving by air and both offering urban distractions for the occasional rainy day. Although the region has no true cities, or even large towns, the guide includes details of the many local museums which provide easily accessible insights into the bloody history of an area which has, at times, been central to the evolution of modern-day France.New elements in this edition of Bradt's The Vendée include expanded coverage of France's most dazzling son-et-lumière show and new restaurant listings that reflect the region's growing reputation for wine and Michelin-starred eateries, as well as its long history as a paradise for seafood-lovers.…

New elements in this edition include expanded coverage of architecture, the Vendee sections of a 1,300-km Atlantic cycle route (La Velodysee), France's most dazzling son et lumiere show and new restaurant listings that reflect the region's growing reputation for wine, collection of Michelin-starred eateries and long history as a paradise for seafood lovers. AUTHORS: During a camping holiday in France in 1970, Angela Bird idly scanned an estate agent's window (as you do) and noticed a whole house on sale for 1,200. She and her husband jettisoned their aged tent, equipped themselves with a hefty DIY book, and began a 50-year love affair with the Vendee. Although her children longed to holiday on Vendee beaches, Bird couldn't sit still for long so would drag them to markets, menhirs, castles and windmills. (Her kids learned to dread the words: 'While we're here, why don't we just visit.?') In 1995 Bird wrote her first guidebook to the area, the bestselling English Family Guide to the Vendee, which ran to four editions before transferring to the Bradt stable. For four years she was also Vendee correspondent for the French publication Cote Ouest. In the UK, she has worked for The Illustrated London News and Country Living magazines. Murray Stewart spent two months living and travelling around the Vendee and its borders, researching and writing the first edition of Bradt's guidebook to the area. When his legs were significantly younger, he enjoyed cycling holidays on the flat coastal terrain along the Vendean Atlantic coast. Murray wrote Bradt's Basque Country and Navarre: France and Spain, which won the British Guild of Travel Writers' Best Travel Guidebook of 2016. He has also updated Bradt guidebooks to North Cyprus, Cape Verde and the Azores. Murray has written for national travel magazines and online publications, and produced copy for French tourist boards and hotels. A near-fluent French speaker, he spends part of the year living in the Minervois in southern France. Edward Cooper is an award-winning researcher who holds a Masters i Shipping may be from our Sydney, NSW warehouse or from our UK or US warehouse, depending on stock availability.…
