It is the arrival of the railway (we can nowadays, go there by TGV all year round!), sea bathing and paid vacations which propelled the small Vendée town to the rank of upscale seaside resort, from the beginning of the 20th century. Cod fishing, salt trading, the nautical origins of Les Sables d'Olonne do not date from yesterday, boats docked in its port for 800 years. Today, there are 3 ports in the city: Port Olona can accommodate 1,500 boats, it is the largest in Vendée. The Port de Plaisance continues Quai Garnier to accommodate very large boats up to 15.50m, nearby, a lively district! There is also a fishing port and a trading port.
