Musée Auto Vendée

Are you a car and motorcycle enthusiast? From our campground in St-Hilaire-de-Riez, stop by the Musée Auto Vendée, located between Les Sables-d’Olonne and Talmont: a family-run museum dedicated to the restoration of cars and motorcycles.

Nestled in the heart of the Côte des Lumières between Les Sables d’Olonne and Talmont Saint Hilaire on the departmental road 949 (GPS: N: 46,477; W:1,667), the Musée de l’Automobile de Vendée is first and foremost a family story: that of the GIRON family, who for over 75 years have been collecting, restoring and maintaining cars, 2-wheelers and all kinds of accessories linked to historic vehicles, for the pleasure of preserving our heritage.

More than 150 vehicles are presented to the public in a 3,300 m² hall, with a wealth of explanations, posters, mannequins and period accessories.

A cornerstone of tourism in the Pays des Olonnes, the Musée de l’Auto de Vendée is well worth a visit for its rich collections, which continue to expand over the years.
