The Briquet Griffon Vendeen is one of the four rough-coated breeds from the west cost of France in the Vendee region. Believed to have descended from the Vendeen hounds of the Gris de St. Louis. This breed was severely reduced during World War II and is still relatively unknown even in France. They are primarily used for hunting hare, fox and even big game.

Also called Chien d'Artois.
