Talmont-Saint-Hilaire, Coastal commune in Vendée, France
Located on the Atlantic coast, Talmont-Saint-Hilaire stretches across 189 square kilometers of land with elevations ranging from sea level to 57 meters.
Richard I of England controlled the Château de Talmont from 1182 until his death, using this strategic location as a base during his continental campaigns.
The current town emerged from the 1974 merger of Talmont and Saint-Hilaire-de-Talmont, reflecting the administrative reorganization of French communes in the 20th century.
The population of 8,161 residents benefits from local services, shops, and easy access to the nearby resort town of Les Sables-d'Olonne.
The ruins of Château de Talmont stand as remnants of medieval coastal fortifications, marking centuries of maritime defense along the French Atlantic shore.
