Illustrious
ambassadors
What is the common point bringing together Charles Martel,
Eleanor of Aquitaine, François I, Richelieu, Rabelais and
Clemanceau?
Just say Vendée!
Each of these illustrious figures left his ou her imprint
on the region's history.
From the Paleolithic Era to the Roman Empire, there were
so many battles, destructions, reconstructions, and progress
as well!
Just one example: In 1154, Poitou and Aquitaine came under
English domination through the marriage of Eleanor of Aquitaine
with Henri Plantagenêt, only to once again become French,
shortly thereafter!
A passion-filled epic story that the visitor will rediscover
throughout his journey of initiation
Let Vendee be recounted to you
Are you enamored of local history? An adept of culturally
rich holidays ? Guided tours are made for you!
Those in love with Roman art are confronted with an embarrassment
of riches.
Since Vendee is a land of traditions, its inhabitants harbor
a thousand stories to share with you.
