Edition 2025 — La Grande Bordée

The 12th edition of La Grande Bordée brought together over 150,000 visitors over four days around the maritime heritage of Les Sables, with 80 old rigs docked, parades in traditional costumes, and memorable Kraken evenings on the Place du Vendée Globe.

2025 Edition — A Legendary Edition

La Grande Bordée 2025 celebrated seafarers from August 14th to 17th in Les Sables-d'Olonne. More than 80 old rigs were moored along the quays, offering the public exceptional guided tours. The maritime village hosted 50 exhibitors of marine art and crafts.

The Kraken Evening on Friday, August 15th, vibrated to the sound of Kendji Girac, The Rumpled, Les P'tits Fils de Jeanine, and Esskalibur. On Saturday, the "Tous en Bordée" evening set the square alight with 80'90'2000 Le Live, Sgt Pepper, and Couci Couça ft. Antoine Holbecq. On Sunday, August 17th, a grand fireworks display concluded this memorable edition.
