Tourism in Brem-sur-Mer: things to see
Natural wonders in Brem-sur-Mer
LA GACHÈRE VILLAGE AND MARSH
Explore this small fishing village, beside the Olonne marsh, recognisable by its typical lanes, white houses and colourful boats. Formerly a fishing village, there are now only a few oyster-farmers left, but the panorama has not changed and is still worth a look! Go to the small bridge of La Gachère for a 360° panorama in the middle of the marsh.
PARC DES GENÊTS
The Parc des Genêts in Brem-sur-Mer is a lovely green space in the middle of the town. This peaceful three-hectare park offers beautiful walks between trees that are nearly a hundred years old, on foot or by bike. For children, you will find play areas and a hedge maze!
AUZANCE RIVER
This river is where fresh water meets salt water, and is the ideal place for angling enthusiasts. Please note that no fishing permit is required in this maritime domain! A haven of peace to discover in Brem-sur-Mer.
BEACH IN BREM SUR MER: PLAGE DES DUNES

A lively town with lots of local businesses
In spite of being small (around 3,000 inhabitants in the low season), Brem-sur-Mer is nonetheless a lively town that knows how to highlight its local activities!
- Brem-sur-Mer market
From mid-April to mid-September the Brem-sur-Mer market is held on the Place du Jardin de l'Océan and in the town centre. In the low season, the market is still held on the Place du Jardin de l'Océan every Friday.
You will be able to find many local products directly from regional farms and producers. In particular you will be able to taste specialities from Brem-sur-Mer: wines and troussepinette (aperitif from the Vendée), as well as many vegetables, meats and fish.

Take the waymarked path “Between vineyards and countryside” from the town hall and explore the vineyards of Brem-sur-Mer as well as a few historical sites in the town. In particular, you can visit La Mignotière and La Crulière, with its menhir which is also called “the Devil’s Stone”, listed as a Historical Monument since 1934.
We also recommend the long-distance hiking path which runs along the Olonne forest, and crosses the lock of Le Havre de la Gachère. You will then go back up along the dune, and can stop to visit the Saint Nicolas church before returning to the Brétignolles coast.
