Art Trail: Terra Medoca

Treat yourself to an inspiring walk in the heart of nature and discover the town with a creative eye!

Visit an open-air exhibition that will spark your curiosity and your love of the great outdoors. There’s no need to be cooped up in a museum to be amazed and to reflect on the environmental issues affecting Vendays-Montalivet.

A fun and creative treasure hunt

Immerse yourself in this trail of environmental art that thinks big! From dune forests and pinewoods to marshes and a historic village, set off to discover these original creations on an immersive journey through nature. Take a stroll through the resort and let your artistic curiosity guide you , whilst enjoying a breath of fresh air with family, friends or on your own, to reconnect with what really matters. 

Created in partnership with the local association Aléa, Terra Medoca also has an educational purpose. This permanent exhibition evolves with the seasons and transforms alongside them. In perfect harmony with the surrounding landscapes, the artworks inspire, provoke thought and raise awareness of environmental issues.

Now it’s your turn to discover them and interpret them through your own eyes – whether as an artist, a resident of Les Vendays, a local from the Médoc, or simply a visitor!

Artists’ own words

My idea, therefore, is a reinterpretation of the notion that ‘everyone must do their bit’, represented by a large number of water droplets arranged as an installation on the sphere, of different sizes to symbolise the multitude of possible actions.

The continents are represented in cork, in both male and female forms, to provide a variety of materials but also to represent essential diversity. The oceans are painted with blue pigments.
