The fate of the village of Faymoreau changed in 1827 when a modest clog maker discovered a seam of coal while digging a well. This discovery leads, two kilometers from the original village, the construction and then the development of a small mining town with its settlements, its management building (now the mining hotel, and now a restaurant), its chapel, its school, its allotment gardens, etc. People from here and elsewhere come to settle there to work in the mine. The exploitation of the deposit stops in 1958. The traces of this past remain with in particular the chapel of the Minors which was restored and redecorated with magnificent stained glass windows designed by the artist Carmelo Zagari.

Vouvant

Highlight • Other

Vouvant is labelled in Les Plus Beaux Villages de France (since 1988), as a Petite cité de caractère, and the village has obtained two flowers out of five in the Concours des villes et villages fleuris.

It is the only fortified village of Vendée, is rich in cultural and architectural heritage and has a couple of great cafes and pubs to keep you refreshed. There are also some stunning viewpoints down by the river and by the old fort.

An absolute MUST to detour here

The facade of the front wall of the northern transept arm and the main portal are the real main treasure and attraction of the church.

Old Quarries of Cheffois

Highlight • Structure

This old quartzite quarry was active until 1953. Beautiful rock walls dominate the quarries, now redeveloped into a bucolic body of water.
