A tourism property for sale in Vendée relies on one of the busiest family seaside destinations on the Atlantic coast, backed by an inland area that has built its own clientele. On the coast, Notre-Dame-de-Monts, Saint-Gilles-Croix-de-Vie, Les Sables-d'Olonne, La Tranche-sur-Mer and the islands of Noirmoutier and Yeu fill hotels, holiday residences and campsites from June to September. Inland, the Puy du Fou makes the Haut-Bocage a short-break destination from spring to autumn, the Marais poitevin and its Green Venice draw boaters and cyclists, and the Mervent-Vouvant forest and Maillezais abbey support green and heritage tourism.
The properties range from coastal hotel-restaurants to guest estates in the Bocage: character houses surrounded by cottages, rated holiday-let complexes, renovated farms with a pool, event venues with rooms, family hotels, campsites and leisure parks. The page is written for investors, professionals seeking a business to take over and owners preparing to sell.

For a hospitality business, the benchmark is the tourist coast, where a country house sold for a median €270,000 over 2020-2025, against €210,000 for the whole department in 2025. A tourism property combining a home, rental units, a pool and land goes beyond these levels and compares with large period homes, at a median €580,800 over 2021-2025 (indicative). The mix by type shows the weight of gîte complexes, often in the Bocage or marshes, and a smaller presence of hotels and inns, valued first on their trading record.
Hotels in Vendée are mostly independent and family-run. On the coast, seaside hotels earn most of their turnover in summer; seminars, Vélodyssée cyclists and short family breaks help extend the season. On Noirmoutier and Yeu, buildings are scarce and expensive, and logistics weigh on operations. In the Haut-Bocage, around Les Herbiers and Mortagne-sur-Sèvre, Puy du Fou visitors support hotels and hotel-restaurants throughout the park's season. Inland, village inns and farm inns (fermes-auberges) live off family meals and passing trade. Separate the building, the business and the commercial lease; the business is valued on operating profit (EBITDA). Compare hotels for sale in France and inns and hotel-restaurants.
Vendée is among the best-equipped French departments for campsites. You can buy a rated campsite business, a leisure park, sometimes a municipal campsite that the town sells after declassification or, more often, hands to a private operator under a concession or public service delegation, or a chalet on a pitch sold outright: see campsites and leisure parks in Pays de la Loire. Treehouses, gypsy caravans and marsh lodges fall under glamping sites for sale; holiday villages and residences rely on managed operation.
Houses with several holiday lets make up most of the supply: see gîtes for sale in Vendée, and B&Bs in Vendée for guest houses.
Renovated farms and Bocage manors host weddings, often with rooms on site: see event venues in Vendée.
A hotel or campsite sale covers the building, sold before a notary, and the business, with its own formalities. A hotel is a public-access building (ERP): ask for the fire safety commission opinion; star ratings from 1 to 5 last 5 years; the town hall confirms the transfer of the drinks licence and operating permit. For a campsite, check the development permit, the authorised pitches and the state of utilities. Furnished lets fall under the loi Le Meur of 19 November 2024. On the coast, the loi Littoral strictly limits extensions, and prevention plans were tightened after storm Xynthia: read the risk report (coastal flooding, dune erosion, Lay and Sèvre Niortaise floods, marsh wetlands). Converting a farm building needs planning consent; off mains drainage, ask for the SPANC report.
The Côte de Lumière and the islands bring the largest summer crowds, with dearer buildings and a short season. The Haut-Bocage benefits from Puy du Fou visitors over a longer season. Southern towns and the marshes offer lower entry prices.
It depends on occupancy outside summer, average rates, staff costs, pool upkeep and commissions. Ask for three years of accounts and test your figures with our holiday rental simulator (in French).
Add the building, valued against large period homes, the business if trading is transferred, purchase costs and a reserve for upgrades and winter cash.
