Gone are the days when you were just given a city map at the counter of the Tourist Office! Today is the time personalised advice and the diversified offer ! We are constantly thinking about the best way to welcome you and talk to you about the Vendée into enthusiasts. No wonder we got the label " The essential comes from the heart "!

Open all year round, our the Tourist Office offers rich documentation, a quality welcome et its ticket office for tourist sites and the cultural season. In the Pays des Achards, the Tourist Office also has a very strong link with the inhabitants and we are proud to participate in the animation of our territory !


But who is behind all these services?

Here are our magicians, our dreamers, our travelers at heart who juggle between a thousand files to concoct a perfect stay for you and meet your needs!

Our visionary

Tourism promotion and development officer, she is our thinking head and always sees beyond the current tourist season!

While vacationers take advantage of the summer entertainment, Audrey D. is already planning the fall program.

She is the referent for tourism service providers, works on our visual identity, puts our website online and animates our social networks.


Our artist

Travel advisor at the office, she loves people and it shows when she receives you with her beautiful smile!

Audrey B. organizes our temporary exhibitions, liaises with hosts, updates our cultural agenda and manages the exchange of documentation with surrounding tourist offices.

Do you receive our colorful newsletter full of ideas for going out? It's thanks to her !


Portrait Alexandra Richter

Our pen

Tourism development officer, she likes to use words and tell stories. A large part of the texts on this website and our social networks are born on his computer keyboard.

Passionate about old stones, Alexandra is the referent for projects around heritage.

The only non-Vendéenne at the Office, she often takes an amused look at our local customs and expressions and comments on them with humour!


The ladies of the shadows

You won't come across them at the Tourist Office and yet they are so important to us!

Our Director Marion coordinate it “Tourism and Culture Pole” in the Land of Pickles. We work hand in hand with the cultural service and the Pays des Achards library network to offer you even more dreams!

Always enthusiastic about new ideas, even the most eccentric, Marion is our link with the elected officials of the territory and our “great” project leader.


Do you leave one of our concerts with a smile on your face? You don't suspect everything Laëtitia, from the cultural department, did for you! She selected the artists a year in advance, played taxi to pick up the musicians at the station, served their meals and took the singer's broken heel to the shoe repair shop at the last minute! In short, it is our alchemist behind the scenes !

A fine connoisseur of live shows, she also programs our summer events and children's shows, to make you vibrate throughout the year!


Portrait Anne Boury

Anne of the "Pôle Aménagement" of the Pays des Achards is our Swiss army knife when it comes to mobility! Referent for Geocaching, specialist in hiking trails and cycle routes, she's the outdoor expert!

Very sensitive to nature and atmospheres, Anne loves photography. It is also thanks to her that we can share with you many visuals of our hiking trails.
