On the map
Capital of the Vendée department, in the Pays de la Loire region, La Roche-sur-Yon is a town with a singular layout, willed by Napoleon I in the shape of a pentagon around a vast parade ground. Created from scratch in the 19th century, it occupies a bocage plateau crossed by the Yon, halfway between the Poitevin Marsh and the Atlantic coast. Its geometric centre and squares set the rhythm of an administrative and commercial city.
