Les Régates du Bois de la Chaise 2026

Les Régates du Bois de la Chaise celebrate Noirmoutier’s relationship with the sea through traditional boats, elegant hulls and the culture of belle plaisance. Between the Plage des Dames and the port, the event gives visitors a close look at sailing heritage in an island setting where maritime identity remains central. Regattas like this are not only sporting displays; they preserve boat knowledge, seamanship, maintenance traditions and the pleasure of gathering around the harbor. The island landscape adds depth to the experience, with beaches, pine trees and old villas framing the boats. It is one of the clearest maritime-heritage entries in the region.
