Benimar Owners Club Rally to the Vendee 2026

This year, the Benimar Owners Club is venturing to La Tranche-sur-Mer in the Vendée, a charming seaside town known for its golden sandy beaches, picturesque harbour, and vibrant coastal atmosphere, the perfect base for a relaxing and fun-filled rally.

Your rally will begin with a one night stop at Camping du Lac, where you’ll meet your rally marshal and fellow members.

Next, you will make your way to Camping Baie d’Aunis for 10 nights, enjoying two included excursions: a scenic boat trip from La Rochelle and a delightful wine and cheese tasting experience.

To book, we require a completed booking form and a deposit of £150.

To join the rally, you must own a Benimar motorhome.
