The Vendée Automobile Museum was founded in 1939 by Gaston Giron and is a collection of motor cars and other modes of transport.
The family’s passion for engineering and cars has led to the
preservation of over 200 vehicles (cars, bicycles, motorcycles and horse
drawn carriages) dating from 1885 to prototypes for the future.
One hundred and sixty of them are displayed in a vast 3300m² hall which
is decorated with a remarkable collection of posters and advertisements
from the past. The museum also features a reconstruction of the first
garage of Gaston Giron, the collections founder, dating from 1929.
