&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;[[Template:Indication Géographique ProtégéeFr|IGP]] Volailles de Challans&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; are [[poultry]] (black, white and yellow [[chickens]], black [[turkeys]], [[ducks]], [[quails]], [[guinea fowl]], [[capons]] and black [[poulardes]]) with firm flesh and superior organoleptic characteristics, slaughtered at an age&lt;br /&gt;
close to sexual maturity. Marketed fresh or [[frozen]], whole ([[oven]]-ready or with [[giblets]])&lt;br /&gt;
or in sections.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Geographical area&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Twenty-two districts of the northern Vendée, plus eleven adjacent districts.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Evidence of origin&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
All of the links in the network are listed (hatcheries, food producers,&lt;br /&gt;
breeders, abattoirs). Documentary records are kept for every batch of [[poultry]] :&lt;br /&gt;
declaration by the breeder of birds added to his stock, delivery slips for dayold&lt;br /&gt;
chicks, declaration of departure for the abattoir and receipts for collection&lt;br /&gt;
of carcasses from the abattoir, declaration of the labels used for the [[poultry]]&lt;br /&gt;
after slaughter and declaration of downgraded [[poultry]]. The labels are all&lt;br /&gt;
numbered.&lt;br /&gt;
Checks on the consistency of the above information mean that the origin of&lt;br /&gt;
the product can always be traced.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Acquisition&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Specifications for each type of production, laying down authorized varieties (slowgrowing&lt;br /&gt;
varieties), indoor stocking density, flock sizes, area of open-air runs, feed&lt;br /&gt;
([[cereal]]-based), minimum slaughtering age and safety standards for slaughtering and&lt;br /&gt;
marketing.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Link&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The link with the geographical origin of the product derives from the following&lt;br /&gt;
factors:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Historical reputation&amp;#039;&amp;#039;, linked to the existence of [[poultry]]-breeding since the early 19th&lt;br /&gt;
century in the farms of the region. The Challans area was particularly renowned for&lt;br /&gt;
its variety of black [[chickens]], and the Challans market was especially famous for all&lt;br /&gt;
types of [[poultry]].&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Present reputation&amp;#039;&amp;#039;: The award of the Red Label testified to the superior quality of&lt;br /&gt;
the products and served as a means of consolidating their reputation. Nowadays the&lt;br /&gt;
public throughout France are familiar with Challans [[poultry]], and the main&lt;br /&gt;
restaurateurs of Paris and the French Riviera are loyal users of Challans [[poultry]]. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;Gastronomy&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
[[Template:Indication Géographique ProtégéeFr|IGP]] Volailles de Challans can be conserved for about 10 days in the [[refrigerator]], and for maximum 14 days after butchering as regards vacuum-packed slices or with protected atmosphere, if stored in the [[refrigerator]]. Their fowl is ideal to prepare tasteful and refined second courses. Above all [[guinea fowl]], [[guinea fowl]] [[capons]], [[ducks]] and [[turkeys]] are required for Christmas and New Year feasts. The fowl is often combined with [[boiled]] [[vegetables]] and [[legumes]]. The dishes cooked with these fowls are generally rather elaborated and complex. They require long cooking with the addition of sauces and stuffing. Truffled stuffing is used, sometimes also enriched with sour [[cream]], [[chestnuts]] and dry [[fruits]]. The famous [[ducks]] of Challans de Vendée have made famous the Tour d&amp;#039;Argent restaurant in Paris where they have been served well-plump and &amp;quot;[[roasted]] at the blood drop&amp;quot; since the half of the 19th century.&lt;br /&gt;
