Saint-Vincent-sur-Jard

Saint-Vincent-sur-Jard is best known in the Vendée for Belébat, the coastal home where French statesman Georges Clemenceau spent his final years. The commune looks out over the Atlantic Ocean on the Côte de Lumière, along a low shore of sandy beaches, dunes and pine woodland rather than a harbourfront. Clemenceau moved to Belébat in 1919 after leading France during the First World War and lived there until his death in 1929. His modest house and garden, conceived with his friend Claude Monet, reveal a private side of a major figure in French public life. Coastal paths link the settlement to the broader Vendée littoral, while fields inland underline its rural character.
