Both along the coast and inland, a living heritage awaits your exploration – castles, humbler dwellings, tourist sites and charming accommodation. Castle keeps, chateaux, villages and more: the heritage of History recounts the great adventure that is the Vendée’s past, at times war-like, at times artistic, and occasionally magical, whilst the surviving traces of the department’s great religious architecture tell of the monastic life and rituals of the Middle Ages.
Touring the sites and museums, where learning is fun, is child’s play. Rediscover your own mischievous, playful, and carefree inner child as you experience the many ingenious attractions, historical, aquatic and zoological parks. All thirst for learning will be quenched, whatever your age.
The Vendée’s traditional arts and crafts are still very much alive and can also be seen in the museums devoted to them. Fruity, peppery, spicy, woody - the disturbing magic of perfumed plants will take you by surprise, when you visit one of Vendée’s many parks and gardens.
