Is the water clean at Le Vigneux?
Le Vigneux sits on a stretch of coast classed as a coastal bathing site, carrying an official EU Bathing Water rating of Good for the 2025 season. Under the EU Bathing Water Directive, national authorities test for intestinal enterococci and E. coli through the season and report the results the following spring — the 2025 rating was published in spring 2026, and 2026's won't follow until spring 2027. In addition to that yearly rating, some national authorities — for Croatia, the national environmental authority — publish individual water sample results during the season itself, ahead of the annual report. It sits in Ille-et-Vilaine. There's parking about ~60 m from the beach.
That rating has been consistent: every one of the 11 classified seasons on record has come back Excellent or Good. If you're timing a visit around water temperature rather than crowds, July–September is the safest bet, with August typically the peak — expect a cooler, calmer sea either side of that stretch. The nearest town, La Ville-ès-Nonais, is about ~1.0 km away.
“Good” is one point on a four-step scale — Excellent, Good, Sufficient or Poor — assigned once per year from that season's water samples, not a live reading. It describes how the site performs on average across the season, not the exact water quality this afternoon; for day-to-day sea conditions, see the “Right now” and 7-day outlook panels above.
Frequently asked questions
Is it safe to go in the water at Le Vigneux?
Yes — Le Vigneux's 2025 rating is Good, one step below the top tier, with 11 of 11 classified seasons rated Excellent or Good. It's also held steady at Good for 4 straight years.
What's the current water temperature at Le Vigneux?
The figure above (about 24°C) is placeholder data — the live marine-weather feed wasn't reachable when this page was built, and the real reading will appear automatically once it is. That's the reading right off Ille-et-Vilaine. On the modeled climatology here, August usually runs warmest.
When does Le Vigneux have the warmest water?
If you're planning around water temperature, July–September is the window to target — the modeled sea temperature is typically highest then. That applies to the water around Ille-et-Vilaine. Within that window, August is typically the single warmest month.
How is bathing water quality actually assessed?
Once a year, national authorities report a full season of testing for intestinal enterococci and E. coli to the European Environment Agency, which grades the season Excellent, Good, Sufficient or Poor under the EU Bathing Water Directive. A handful of countries, including Croatia via IZOR, also publish individual in-season samples ahead of that report — Le Vigneux doesn't have that feed set up yet.
What's the easiest way to reach Le Vigneux?
By car, it's easy — parking is right by the beach. By bus, the nearest stop is Mairie, about ~690 m away. The nearest town is La Ville-ès-Nonais, about ~1.0 km away.
