				The Vendée is a haven for a wide variety of birds and wildlife. The coastal areas are home to         many birds and also welcome many migratory species to the marshland around Angles,         St Benoist sur Mer and St Denis du Payré. Our property in St Benoist sur Mer is less than         500m from the viewing platforms for the nature reserve. One of the information panels is                 shown below:                                  A short drive from all of our properties is the nature reserve “Michel Brosselin” in St Denis du Payré.          Managed by the LPO (La League pour la Protection des Oiseaux) its website can be found here          (most pages in French only)http://vendee.lpo.fr/          A brief guide to the reserve in St Denis du Payré is provided in         English http://www.vendee-guide.co.uk/st-denis-du-payre.htm         There is undulating farmland and grassland inland and a nature reserve at Les Landes-Génusson         which is on the route of local and international migratory birds.
