Address: Le Daviaud, 817 Route du Daviaud, 85550 La Barre-de-Monts, France

La Noce du Daviaud recreates a Maraîchin wedding in the setting of an ecomuseum devoted to the Marais breton-vendéen. The event brings together costume, music, meal traditions, procession and social ritual, showing how a wedding once involved the whole community. Its strength is the way it makes intangible heritage visible: gestures, songs, clothing and shared roles become part of a living scene. For visitors, the day offers more than folklore. It gives a sense of how family life, village ties and marshland identity were expressed through ceremony. At Le Daviaud, the reconstruction feels anchored in place, surrounded by the objects and landscapes of local memory.
