The Vendée’s events and festivals, renowned internationally

The Vendee is the “land of great events”, hosting many international sporting events every year. For instance, it is home to the incredible Vendée Globe yacht race, which leaves from Les Sables d’Olonne. You can also assist the world’s biggest night-time show - the unique Cinéscénie at the Puy du Fou or encourage the runners on the Foulées du Gois race against the tide. Alternatively, on a more musical note enjoy William Christie’s Les Arts Florissants… you need to experience at least one!
