The Vendée Globe race village in Les Sables-d’Olonne is a vibrant, bustling hub of activity leading up to the start of the race. Located on the coast of western France, the village opens several weeks before the race begins, attracting tens of thousands of visitors, fans, and media from all over the world. It's a celebration of offshore sailing, with a mix of technology, adventure, and human spirit all brought to life through exhibitions, presentations, and interactive displays.

The village spans a vast area around the harbor where the IMOCA 60 yachts are moored. These high-tech racing machines are impressive, standing 18 meters long with towering masts and sleek, cutting-edge designs. Each yacht reflects years of innovation, with many fitted with hydrofoils to help lift them out of the water for added speed. As the days to the start tick down, the docks are alive with crews, sponsors, and teams putting the final touches on the boats, testing systems, and fine-tuning for performance.
