The Vacances Bleues Foundation
The Vacances Bleues Foundation: 20 years of commitment
Established in 2006, the Vacances Bleues Foundation upholds the group’s commitments to social solidarity, culture and the environment.
True to the values of openness, sharing and creativity that define the spirit of Vacances Bleues, it works alongside committed charities, artists and partners.
Working closely with the group’s teams and numerous charitable, cultural and environmental organisations, the Foundation carries out projects that make a difference to local communities and individuals.
The Vacances Bleues Foundation is committed
Since its inception, Vacances Bleues has championed the idea that holidays, culture and social interaction can be wonderful opportunities for solidarity and openness.
To further this commitment, the Vacances Bleues Foundation supports and develops initiatives of public interest in three key areas:
- Solidarity in France and abroad
- Commitment to the environment
- Support for contemporary creativity

Solidarity in France and Abroad
The Vacances Bleues Foundation works to strengthen social ties and encourage initiatives based on solidarity.
It supports initiatives that enable isolated elderly people, children and vulnerable families to enjoy moments of interaction, connection and togetherness.
Both in France and abroad, these partnerships create opportunities for sharing and openness.
A commitment to the environment
The Vacances Bleues Foundation supports initiatives that take concrete action to preserve the environment and local areas.
It supports projects that protect ecosystems, promote the responsible management of natural resources and raise awareness of environmental issues.
Through these initiatives, the Foundation aims to encourage practices that are more respectful of biodiversity and local areas.
Supporting artists
For over thirty years, Vacances Bleues has been supporting contemporary art and encouraging people to engage with art.
Through its Foundation, the group supports artists, develops a collection of contemporary art and backs several cultural initiatives such as Paréidolie, Art et Développement and Mécènes du Sud.
Convinced that art broadens horizons and fosters connections, the Foundation encourages exchanges between artists, staff and the public.
Art at the heart of our holidays
Vacances Bleues shares works from its collection by exhibiting them in the group’s establishments.
Photographs, paintings and sculptures thus accompany visitors and staff in their day-to-day lives.
More than 350 works are currently on display in various locations, including:
- Paintings and silk-screens by Piotr Klemensiewicz at our hotel Villa Modigliani in Paris.
- Hanging frescoes by Claude Viallat in our club Plein Sud in Hyères-les-Palmiers.
- Paintings and drawings by Jean Le Gac at the Hôtel Le Splendid in Dax.
