Car Hire La Roche Sur Yon - Mini guide to La Roche Sur Yon

La Roche Sur Yon

Napoleon rebuilt La Roche Sur Yon as the capital of the Vendée area of France in 1804, creating a city that effortlessly accommodates both history and tradition. The city is surprisingly geometrical and regular, another byproduct of the Napoleon legacy. Visitors can experience this unique city while also enjoying the diverse countryside of the entire Pays de Loire region and the Atlantic coastline in their car rental.

Hovering over the pentagonal city centre of La Roche Sur Yon is a large statue of Napoleon, which is also part of the Napoleon walking tour. The centre comprises four main roads which divide the city into four individual quarters. The four quarters are characterized respectively by the theatre, the administrative buildings, the conservatory and the Haras National.

The theatre is an incredible site to visit, having been completely renovated in 2004. The Haras National, where horses are bred, is one of the city’s prized attractions. Visitors should also head to the Renaissance House, a 16th century building dedicated to displaying the city’s interesting history.

The La Roche Sur Yon Museum, constructed in the late 19th century, exhibits paintings and contemporary photography, as well as a display of the city’s history.

La Roche Sur Yon is surrounded by several lively and unique villages with a wide range of outdoor activities, places to stay and beautiful landscapes. Rent a car and take a full tour of the region for a true taste of the Pays de Loire.
