The department of Vendee is in the region of Pays de la Loire with the neighbouring Deux Sevres and Vienne departments set in the region of Poitou-Charentes.

Vendee is bordered by Deux Sevres to the west, Loire Atlantique and Maine et Loire to the north and Charente Maritime in the south. The Atlantic coast is to the east. The local culture is quite interesting if not similar to that of Deux Sevres, Maine et Loire and Brittany.

The department is the second most popular tourist area in France when it comes to the number of visitors, so B&B and Gite businesses are a good idea for instance. Rental opportunities are high in this area and property prices are reasonable.
