Vague de Jazz

Vague de Jazz is a festival run by an association promoting jazz and improvised music along the Vendée coast around Les Sables-d'Olonne. Launched in 2003, it stages a series of often free concerts every July across several coastal towns, including La Tranche-sur-Mer and Longeville-sur-Mer. Its programming balances younger musicians shaped by rock and pop influences with more established names, earning it a place in the national AFIJMA network of innovative jazz festivals.
