Come (re)discover the house and gardens of Georges Clemenceau on the occasion of the European Heritage Days 2023. Georges Clemenceau (1841-1929) moved to this «Bicoque» in Saint-Vincent-sur-Jard in 1919. He had just signed the peace treaty at the end of the Great War of 1914-18, at the cost of an intense personal investment. He wishes to rest from a long career devoted to politics, and return to his native Vendée.
This is how he calls this small isolated house, simple rental where he will stay every summer until his death. Patiently, he composes his garden, attentive to the advice of his great friend, the painter Claude Monet, and following his own desires in spite of sand, sea winds and high tides. He did not hesitate to receive prestigious personalities, such as the ambassadors of Japan and the United States. The house was purchased by the state shortly after his death. Since then, it has preserved the traces of the «Tiger», as well as the testimonies of his friendships and his passions: literature, hunting and extreme oriental arts.
