Entertainment
in the Vendée is surprisingly enough a large and varied topic. Many
people want to finish a day at the beach or some other attraction by
just relaxing with a meal and a drink, and of course there are many
establishments which cater for them, while others want something more
structured and more stimulating. The Vendée has no cities and very few
large towns, but this doesn’t restrict the selection or variety of
entertainment on offer in the evenings, especially during the holiday
season. We have listed many of the venues and varieties of entertainment
including: Discos, Nightclubs, Casinos, Theme Bars, Theatres, and
Cinemas etc. Proudly straddling all else is the Cinescenie
of the Puy du Fou, the world’s largest outdoor theatre and spectacular.
It is something the like of which, most people agree, one will see
nowhere else in the world, and Vendespace, one of the largest sports and entertainment complexes in western France. You may also wish to look up our “what's on” section to get up to the minute news of current events
One thing that the Vendée has in abundance are town/village fêtes and
spectaculars. These can range from Jazz festivals such as the ones at St.Gilles-Croix-de-Vie and La Tranche-sur-Mer, to Musical/market night festivals at venues such as Vouille-les-Marais, from Night time spectaculars at the Abbays of Maillezais, Neuil-sur-l'Autise and Prieure-de-Grammont,
to Les Nocturnes a festival in five communes of the Ocean-Marais de
Monts held over four nights. There are also the village feast days where
the whole village gets together and eats a meal under great marquees,
at which the villagers reaffirm their friendships by eating together and
playing cards, boules or pétanque. If you get the chance and you have a
smattering of the language these fêtes are a great way of immersing
yourself in the local society and culture. For a list of events
