Mat de Misaine Supports the Fête de la Mer in Saint-Gilles-Croix-de-Vie
On 15 August 2026, Saint-Gilles-Croix-de-Vie will once again celebrate the Fête de la Mer (Festival of the Sea), a much-loved annual event honouring the region's maritime heritage, the women and men who make their living from the sea, and the spirit of solidarity that defines the Atlantic coast.
On this occasion, Mat de Misaine is proud to support this community celebration, organised in aid of the Association des Familles de Péris en Mer and the SNSM (French Sea Rescue Society) of Saint-Gilles-Croix-de-Vie.
A Day Dedicated to the Sea and Community Spirit

- Photography exhibition
- Maritime crafts
- Children's activities
- The presence of the HOPE vessel
- Live entertainment and traditional sea shanties

A festive programme celebrating the richness of maritime culture while bringing together local residents, visitors and everyone who shares a love of the sea.

A Story Deeply Rooted in Saint-Gilles-Croix-de-Vie
Founded in Saint-Gilles-Croix-de-Vie, Mat de Misaine has always shared a close connection with the Atlantic Ocean and the people whose lives revolve around it.
This attachment to its coastal roots is reflected throughout the brand's women's and men's collections, designed to be worn by the sea as effortlessly as in the city.
Supporting events such as the Fête de la Mer is a natural extension of the values that have guided the brand since 1989: sharing, authenticity, community and a deep respect for maritime heritage.
Join Us on 15 August!
Whether you're a local resident, visiting the coast or simply passionate about the sea, we look forward to welcoming you to Saint-Gilles-Croix-de-Vie on Friday 15 August 2026 for a memorable day dedicated to solidarity, community spirit and maritime traditions.
We wish everyone a wonderful Fête de la Mer, and the very best of luck to all those taking part in the charity raffle!
