    • Civilizations, the beating heart of life in Herbretaise

      A short walk from Puy du Fou, in Les Herbiers, CIVILISATIONS has established itself as one of those rare places that are part of the landscape.

      A true institution in the Vendée region, Civilisations cultivates the art of hospitality and conviviality. More than just a brasserie, it's a lively meeting place, open 7 days a week. The warm welcome from Ophélie and her team immediately creates a sense of connection, making every visit a truly authentic human experience.

      A large hall with brick arches. A sun-drenched terrace. A rooftop overlooking the gardens. A bright, spacious room that hosts themed evenings and your private events. Everywhere, there's that unique atmosphere of places that bring people together—places where different generations mingle, where strangers become table neighbors, where time flies by unnoticed.

      For a relaxing break, an evening with friends, a moment that stretches on and ends late, a party to remember.

      Open 7 days a week. In Les Herbiers, Vendée.

    We are always very happy to go there, whether it's as a couple or in a larger group. The staff is friendly and welcoming, the dishes are wonderfully cooked and beautifully presented. It's a real treat.

    Excellent welcome. Impeccable service from a very pleasant young head waiter. Very good cocktail, generous appetizer platter. The five courses were very well executed, with the only slight drawback being the 600g piece of beef. Perfect dessert. The digestif was excellent. 👍🏻😁
