Tables & Chefs

Éric Guérin, the chef who treats the Vendée Globe skippers

Chef Éric Guérin (3 toques) pushes the boundaries of gastronomy by creating tailor-made meals for the Vendée Globe skippers. His culinary creations, designed to be preserved and reheated at sea, offer sailors a unique taste experience.

News & Events

Why is this lobster caught in Vendée finally going to be released back into the sea?

Caught in early September, this lobster was lucky. It's about to be released back into the sea in a no-fishing zone. Here's why.

Craftsmen & Know-How

Tasting of Vendée ham at the Atelier du Goût

Limited production: like most regions, the Vendée has seen a sharp decline in the number of artisan butchers. As a result, there are now only four producers of Vendée ham to supply the 1,150 tons produced annually.

Wines & Spirits

Summer wines: 5 Loire whites

1000 km. That's the length of the river we invite you to follow in just five bottles. So we had to choose and leave the wines of Auvergne and Vendée on the bank. The journey begins in central France and follows the course of the river to Muscadet, just outside Nantes. Here we come across Sauvignon, Chenin and Melon B grapes (no longer called Melon de Bourgogne, it was confusing). What all these wines have in common is their fresh, easy-to-digest character, which makes them ideal for summer drinking.

Wines & Spirits

Proud Vendée strongholds

Forget about a simple rosé on your way back from the beach at Les Sables-d'Olonne, because the fiefs vendéens, vineyards of the Loire and the ocean, also offer pretty red and white wines, sometimes ambitious, but always fresh. The whites are best enjoyed young with oysters or seafood, but also after a few years in the cellar with noble meats such as sea bass or St. Pierre. Red wines are ideal for summer red meats. Our selection of five must-taste fiefs.
