The best way to see the Vend\u00e9e in a big way<\/h2>

For holidaymakers… who are not afraid of heights. Every summer, the panoramic Ferris wheel shines on the Esplanade de la Mer, opposite the beach in Saint-Jean-de-Monts. The big lady is 40 metres above the ground. It can be seen for miles around and is a landmark in the Pays de Monts. <\/p>

Three laps, ten minutes of fun, with a stop at the top for photos. There’s a 360-degree view of the town, the embankment, the national forest, the beach and the ocean. In the distance, you can see the wind turbines at Bouin, Saint-Hilaire-de-Riez, Saint-Gilles-de-Riez and even Ile d’Yeu on a clear day. Inside the small cabins, you’ll feel right at home. There’s room for a family of six. <\/p><\/div>

Numbers that make your head spin!<\/h2>
  • The Ferris wheel is 40 metres high. Enough to make acrophobes (those afraid of heights) shudder. A convoy of six semi-trailers is needed to transport the 120 tonnes of equipment. \n<\/li>
  • 150 is the number of passengers the Ferris wheel can accommodate in its 26 cabins. The ride even features a VIP cabin, where champagne is served! The ride also has a gondola for people with reduced mobility. \n<\/li>
  • 200,000 is the number of LEDs (light-emitting diodes) that illuminate the structure at night. It’s one of the first wheels in France to be fully illuminated. \n<\/li>
  • 3 turns on the Ferris wheel, lasting 10 minutes, to take in the sights.\n<\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"menu_order":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"lieu":[12],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.campingpleinsud.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/alentours\/1469"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.campingpleinsud.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/alentours"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.campingpleinsud.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/alentours"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.campingpleinsud.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/alentours\/1469\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1519,"href":"https:\/\/www.campingpleinsud.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/alentours\/1469\/revisions\/1519"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.campingpleinsud.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1469"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"lieu","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.campingpleinsud.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/lieu?post=1469"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
