A shuttle between Vendays and Monta

It’s only 10 kilometers from Vendays to Monta – but without a car, it quickly becomes complicated. Whether it’s going to the market, the beach, a party, or simply keeping the connection between the village and the coast, today it almost always requires your own vehicle.

It’s especially difficult for younger people without a license or car, and for elderly residents who are no longer very mobile.

In the end, it’s often families or neighbors who have to take care of transport, and the middle generation ends up playing chauffeur all the time.

On market days in particular, a shuttle would be a real benefit: not everyone is in shape to drive back afterwards. A safe and convenient return means comfort and peace of mind for everyone.

A regular and accessible shuttle between Vendays and Monta would make everyday life easier for the residents. In summer, it could also be used by tourists, strengthening the link between the beach and the village and making Vendays more attractive.

This isn’t just an idea: the example of Île d’Oléron proves it works. Since 2010, a shuttle has been running there and has already carried over a million passengers. A success story that shows it’s possible here too.

It’s a practical, fair, and safe solution – for all generations, all year round.
