Brem-sur-Mer (French pronunciation: [bʁɛm syʁ mɛʁ], literally Brem on Sea) is a commune in the Vendée département in the Pays de la Loire region in western France.
It was created in 1974 by the merger of the former communes of Saint Martin-de-Brem and Saint Nicolas-de-Brem.
The commune is a beach resort on the Atlantic Ocean (sur-mer means "on-sea"); "Brem" is derived in etymology from the Gaulish "bram".
