Means of transport Saint-Gilles-Croix-De-Vie

The Port-La-Vie marina, ideally located in the town centre, accommodates more than 1,000 boats, including 800 berths on the pontoon and 200 on the mooring line. In the 1960s, yachting developed alongside fishing. The municipality decided in 1971 to build a marina in the mouth of the Vie River (which flows into the sea), which was then occupied by a mudflat. The first stone was laid in October 1974. The port of Saint-Gilles-Croix-de-Vie hosts sailing races including the Solitaire du Figaro.
