Les Brioches Fonteneau, official supplier for the Vendée Globe

Already committed to the Vendée Globe, Brioches Fonteneau is renewing its commitment as an Official Supplier of the event and is also supporting the associated races: the Vendée Arctique – Les Sables d’Olonne (2026) and the New York Vendée – Les Sables d’Olonne (2028). This collaboration builds on a long-standing partnership and showcases a traditional skill that is emblematic of the Vendée region.

A COMPANY ANCHORED IN THE VENDÉE

Based in Montaigu-Vendée since 1977, this family-run business has grown by balancing tradition and innovation whilst remaining true to its identity. Drawing on its expertise and deep-rooted connection to the region, it has gradually established itself both in France and internationally.

By renewing their partnership, Brioches Fonteneau reaffirms its commitment to being part of a collective endeavour and to sharing the adventure of the world’s greatest offshore races with its staff, customers and partners. It is a way of combining local roots with an outward-looking approach, linked to an event that puts the Vendée on the international map.
