Vendee Moments: Through Travelers' Eyes

Post
Ready to discover hidden gems in southern England and France? Here’s my super chill journey exploring Swanage’s vintage charm and then soaking up the unique vibes of L’Epine 🏖️☀️

Top Spots to Visit

Swanage Station 🚂  
You can’t go to Swanage without checking out the old-school Swanage Railway Station (Station Approach, Swanage BH19 1HB, UK). Whether you’re a train buff or just love a bit of British nostalgia, the steam trains and retro vibes are totally worth it. Trains generally run 10am–5pm, but check before you go—weekends and school holidays are best. My tip: Pick up a coffee from the station café and get some Insta-ready shots of the classic engines!

The Square, Swanage 🌳  
Right next to the station, The Square is ideal for grabbing a bench and watching daily life roll by—plus, super convenient if you want a quick snack or ice cream after your train fix. The area is surrounded by local shops and feels like stepping into a movie set, especially on a sunny day!

Getting Around & Pro Tips  
Swanage is walkable—just comfy shoes are needed. To get to L’Epine, take a ferry to Noirmoutier Island (via Fromentine), or use the Passage du Gois at low tide (check times!). For food, don’t leave L’Epine without a fresh seafood lunch by the water. And, as always, check train schedules and ferry times on trip.com before you go!
