There’s a lot to love about the seaside sanctuary of Les Sables-d'Olonne in France. Translating to “The Sands of Olonne,” the town has always been an important port on the country’s western coast, with its history going as far back as the 13th century. Today, it’s a haven for culture vultures and the starting and ending point for the Vendée Globe yacht race that’s held every four years. It’s also home to the 17th-century Musée de l'Abbaye Sainte-Croix, which is famed for its contemporary and modern art collection. Staying in the many vacation rentals across town, thus, gives you an opportunity to explore and cool off in the azure waters of the North Atlantic Ocean. To that end, check out the top Airbnb vacation rentals in Les Sables-d'Olonne, France.
