Our beliefs Who are we?

The Vendée Marais Poitevin Tourist Office is there for those who want to experience an authentic adventure. Our playground: an area of water, stone, forest, villages with character and meaningful experiences. Our role is simple: to help everyone find the mission that suits them… and to live it to the full!

Our vision: to reveal the region's heroes

Our promise, “Awaken your inner hero”, is not a slogan. It’s a way of working.
We believe in everyday heroes: those who cultivate, welcome, guide, nurture, invent and share.
We want to shine a spotlight on them, encourage their initiatives, and inspire those who visit us to surpass themselves, to marvel and dare to be adventurous.

And then there’s you: our next visitors! By coming here, you too become a hero in search of adventure – our heroes!

Our beliefs

  • Authenticityabove all. We don’t overplay anything: we reveal what already exists.
  • Cooperation. Nothing is built alone. The area moves forward thanks to everyone’s commitment.
  • Creativity. Breaking codes, offering unusual formats, surprising… Surprising you at every moment.
  • Responsibility. Protecting the environment, enhancing our heritage and supporting the local economy are non-negotiable.
  • Accessibility. An adventure must be open to everyone, whatever their means, age or desires.

Our team

We are :

  • holiday advisors who like to find the right idea at the right time,
  • sector developers who build the projects of tomorrow,
  • communicators who promote local nuggets,
  • sales people who make discovering the region easier for both individual visitors and groups.

Whether we’re permanent or seasonal employees, we all share a common desire: to raise the profile of the region. Each profile has its own speciality, but everyone shares the same mindset: to work seriously, without taking ourselves too seriously!

Why come to us?

Because our region has character.
Because our team is passionate about service.
Because here, every visitor can become the hero of their own story.

And you, when are you going to start “waking up the hero in you”?
