Since the dawn of time, man's main activity has been to find a way to feed himself. In the past, fishing, gathering and hunting were essential tasks in achieving this. Today, these activities have mainly become leisure pursuits.
Of these, fishing is fast becoming the dominant leisure activity, as it is synonymous with peace and quiet. But there are several variations. Simple and inexpensive, the one that's most in vogue at the moment is fishing on foot.
It has to be said thatin the Vendée, lovers of shore fishing are in for a treat thanks to the 140 kilometres of beaches that line the département.
If you do too, you're a keen anglerwhy not book a gîte at Gîtes de Sophie, in Vendée ? The location of your gîte is ideal for your favourite activity.
