Le Tropicana
Le Tropicana is a medium-sized resort park on the Vendée coast in Pays de la Loire, France. Its big draw is the water park on site, with five pools and four slides, including an indoor heated pool for swimming in any weather.
Plage des Mouettes is less than 1 km from the park, along a path through pine forest. The sand is fine and golden, sloping gently into calm water, which suits families. You can split your days easily between the pools and the sea.
Evenings centre on the TropiLodge, which hosts cabaret shows and live music. There are also themed parties and karaoke, plus a children's disco and a teen disco. For food you have the Grand Café for regional cooking and French favourites, plus a snack bar for takeaway and ice creams.
Two park-run clubs cover ages 4 to 12 and 13 to 17 in July and August. Out of the water you can play tennis or boules, or work out in the indoor gym. The holiday style is lively. A car is recommended for getting around.
