Petit Musée du Cerf-Volant – Les Vents de Tao

Les Vents du Tao is a unique place where wind, recycling and creativity meet. This small museum, created by enthusiasts of wind and recycled materials, invites you to discover the art of kite flying and much more.

Founded by Ludovic Petit, a kite maker for over 40 years, the space pays homage to traditional paper and bamboo kites, with a specialty for combat kites. His daughter, Shâm Petit, grew up in this universe and passionately continues the family legacy by leading workshops around wind, recycling and movement.

Based in Talmont-sur-Gironde since 2013, they opened a Petit Musée du Cerf-Volant and offer children many fun activities. Through craft creations, such as kites, wind turbines and spinning tops, Les Vents du Tao raise awareness among young people about ecology while awakening their curiosity and creativity.

The workshops, lasting 1 hour, are open to children during school holidays in all areas. Reservations recommended at 07 71 12 36 19. You can also discover a shop where wind creations and handmade objects are exhibited.

Not to be missed: the Wind Festival, an unmissable annual event during the Ascension Day holiday, with demonstrations, a wind garden, and workshops for young and old. From May 29 to June 1, 2025

The Winds of Tao, a place where curiosities fly away and where every breath of wind becomes an invitation to discovery.
