St Gilles Croix de Vie
This town was created in 1967 from the merger of the two cities located on either side of the estuary of the river “La Vie”: Saint-Gilles-Croix-de-Vie and Croix-de-Vie.
Known as a major fishing port specializing in sardine, Saint-Gilles-Croix-de-Vie is also a classified seaside resort since 1982.
“La corniche vendéenne» connects the «plage de Boisvinet» in Sion-sur-l’Ocean with the city of Saint-Hilaire-de-Riez.
