Cell towers in Bretignolles-sur-Mer (Vendée)

Most of the town's 7 masts are pylons (5); 1 water tower and 1 church or religious building make up the rest of the mix.

Antennas are listed at Berjonnee de la Croix, Fief du Moulin, Les Plantes, Tenement de la Grande Sauz, Rue du Fregneau and Basse Rivoire.

Systems from 1997 are still on the register. Local 5G started with Free Mobile in November 2021; Orange followed in June 2022, Bouygues Telecom followed in February 2023. 2023 was the busiest year, with 23 new systems, most of them 4G.

Approved additions not yet in service are pending on 2 existing masts, for example Free Mobile (5G 700 MHz) at Rue du Fregneau, Orange (4G) at Berjonnee de la Croix and SFR (3G 900 MHz) at Berjonnee de la Croix. 6 Bouygues Telecom 5G transmitters are listed as technically operational — installed, but not yet declared commercially in service.

The highest support stands 70 m at Fief du Moulin (water tower). The median height of measured supports is 30 m.

On 3.5 GHz, the fastest 5G band: Orange on all 4 masts, Bouygues Telecom on all 3 masts, SFR on all 3 masts and Free Mobile on 2 of its 3 masts.

16 km to the south, neighbouring Les Sables-d'Olonne has 27 masts, more than here.

Only one mast carries all four networks.

Figures above cover installations declared to ANFR as in service or technically operational, as of October 2026; approved projects are not counted.
