Bleau.info : Coquibus Vendée : Topo

This sector, explored in the 90's, has long been confidential. Several independant teams have recently rediscovered the boulders and opened many problems of all levels. However, the presence of the houses of La Maison Forestière de la Vendée makes this sector particularly sensible. The climbers must be particularly discrete and respect strictly the limited possibilities for parking their cars.
