The event, which takes place over the weekend of September 19-20, features a huge range of equestrian activities on the beach, with a gymkhana, stunt rides, polo and pony treks through the surf.

It’s a fascinating few days held under the warm Vendée sunshine, much loved by the siblu teams from Le Bois Masson and Le Bois Dormant.

We’re taking part in the celebrations, with our own stand in the shadow of “La Baigneuse” (the bather), a great sculpture of the French sculptor, Henry Murail.

Sales manager Manu Rocha and his team are bringing two mobile homes to the sands, to show off the benefits of owning a holiday home with siblu.
