Zone B and Vendée Globe yacht race

In Pays de la Loire, winter and spring school breaks follow Zone B (académie de Nantes). The region bridges the Loire Valley's royal history and the Atlantic oceanfront.
In Les Sables-d'Olonne, the quadrennial start of the Vendée Globe solo round-the-world yacht race is a major sporting event, while Nantes celebrates maritime and cultural festivals throughout the year.
