- La Chaume district : Sailors and fishermen's district, the oldest district of the town.
- The Passage district : its narrow alleyways lead you from the quayside towards the ocean or the town centre.
- Les Sables d'Olonne Town centre : an historical heritage with colourful boutiques. The pedestrian streets encircle the Notre Dame de Bon Port Church. Don't miss it the famous Central Market Place, a very popular food market.
- L'Ile Penotte : a pretty and picturesque quarter int the town centre, behind the Remblai, amongst narrow and higledy-piggledy streets. The houses are framed by hollyhocks and decorated with multi-coloured shell mosaics.
- Le Remblai, a long promenade bordering the beach. In the late 19th century, a number of architects gave free rein to their imagination and created some magnificent villas typical of the seaside architecture.
