Historial de la Vendée is a departmental museum dedicated to the history and heritage of the Vendée region in France. Through its collections, archaeology resources and exhibitions, the museum takes visitors on a journey from prehistory to the present day. Its bold architecture and interactive displays offer an engaging way to explore the region’s past, while temporary exhibitions and public events bring new themes to life.

The museum welcomes families, school groups, adult visitors and other organisations, with guided visits, family trails, educational activities and a dedicated children’s museum. Visitors can also explore the museum grounds and find practical information about opening hours, admission and access online, where daytime tickets are available to book. On-site services include a museum café and shop, and the venue can be hired for private events. Historial de la Vendée is part of a wider network of nine cultural and tourist sites in the Vendée, accessible through the Pass Vendée.
