Les Sables-d'Olonne, sea town

Intrinsically tied to the sea: La Chaume historic fishing port, Vendée Globe port, Grande Plage, remblai. ~45,000 inhabitants (new commune with Olonne-sur-Mer, La Chaume). Maritime, nautical, tourist activities set the calendar.

Vent d'Ouest, maritime evocation

Laden with meaning on the Vendée coast. Westerly winds are dominant, sweeping the coast, sometimes gentle in summer, sometimes violent in winter. Symbol of ocean-focused life.
