Some way from the coast, small roads lead to Bernerie-en-Retz, then onto Moutiers-en-Retz via a lengthy detour. Then, the route leads along some paths which are shared in places through marshes, along the coast and across polders to come into the ports of Collet and Brochets before arriving at Champs in the district of Bouin.
