Loire-Atlantique is not "vendée" - Im very sad to see our department, part of historical brittany, in "vendée".
as a matter of fact "Loire-Atlantique" (44) is not Vendée (85)
Ayrshire in scotland is not in northumberland (england)!

agreed - Definitely not Vendée...and quite insulting for the locals. Start by learning about the place and its history...
Vendée starts on the other side of the Loire (i.e South)
Mentionning you are in Vendée is the best way to get yourself kicked out of the water by locals, whether they are fishermen, sailors, kite surfers, etc...
