Bois de la Chaise

Le Bois de la Chaise is a beautiful forest located in Noirmoutier-en-l'Île, in the Loire Region of France. The forest has a rich history, with records of its existence dating back to 1407. It has been ravaged by various events, including being razed by the Spanish in 1524 and the Dutch in 1674.

The forest is now a popular tourist destination, with many villas and cabins built in the area. The Plage des Dames, Plage des Sableaux, and Anse Rouge are some of the notable spots in the forest, with the cabines de plage being a notable feature. The forest is also home to a variety of flora, including oak trees, arbutus, maritime pines, and mimosas. The area is ideal for walking and cycling, and is a great spot for families, with the plage des Sableaux being a supervised beach suitable for children
