Angles (French pronunciation: [ɑ̃ɡl]) is a commune in the Vendée department in the Pays de la Loire region in western France.

Georges Clemenceau, a resident of the nearby Saint-Vincent-sur-Jard, described Angles at the beginning of the century as "a small town located at the extreme edge of the grove at the exact point where the sea retreats from the vast plain of Vendeen green marsh and where livestock is the country's industry.

[5] They aimed to attract people to the area, especially the barons by providing real estate and financial resources to the development of agricultural activity and a church.

In this context the city had its foundation around 1075 with the establishment, on the ruins of an ancient Gallo-Roman church of Sancta Maria Anglis (St. Mary of the Angels) by William son of Herbert.

[5] Tourism is a contributor to what is otherwise an agricultural economy and in the summer months tourists stay in Angles in campsites and cottages in the area.
