The Circuits de Vendée, located in Fontenay-le-Comte in Vendée, have been a hub dedicated to motorsports since 2010. The project, led by the Communauté de communes du Pays de Fontenay-le-Comte and Sem Innovation Automobile Sud Vendée, has gradually developed: FFSA-approved car-motorcycle track in 2010, karting in 2014, paddock and workshop extension, then a change of identity in 2019 under the current name "Les Circuits de Vendée". With a dense program throughout the year, this circuit has become a reference for motorcycle track day in western France.

Track and characteristics of the Circuits de Vendée

The main track extends over 2.4 km with 10 turns and a track width of 9 meters. The 800-meter straight allows you to exceed 200 km/h and offers thrills. The track is designed in two loops with multiple varied curves. The site also includes a karting track (La Michetterie, 1,083 m) and a 350 m indoor karting track. The surface is asphalt, approved for speeds up to 280 km/h. A 130 m² panoramic terrace offers a view of the track.

Riding tips at Circuits de Vendée

The 800-meter straight is the fastest zone - exploit it to the fullest but anticipate braking well at the end of the line. The technical turns require precision: on a 9 m wide track, wide exits are quickly punished. The two-loop layout offers different rhythms - adapt your pace to each section. The asphalt offers good grip, but watch out for any bumps in the braking zones.

Access to Circuits de Vendée

The circuit is located in Fontenay-le-Comte, 85200, Vendée, as part of the Pôle Innovation Automobile Sud-Vendée. The site is easily accessible from Nantes (1 hour), La Rochelle (45 min) and Niort (30 min).

Why ride at Circuits de Vendée?

The Circuits de Vendée offer a 2.4 km track with an impressive 800-meter straight - one of the longest for a circuit of this size. The complete hub (speed track, karting, relay workshops) makes it a versatile place for all motorsport enthusiasts. The programming is dense with many organizers offering motorcycle track day throughout the season. Come ride at [circuit]!
