The Logis de la Chabotterie at Saint Sulpice le Verdon
The Logis de la Chabotterie offers an astonishingly evocative insight into the gentility of life in the countryside in the years before the Revolution. As the scene of the arrest of General Charette in 1796, La Chabotterie is also an important historic site which marks the end of the War of the Vendée.
A country house with activities throughout the year: 10 furnished rooms with sound effects and commentaries, a permanent visitor trail that is unlike anything else in the Vendée, an enclosed formal garden, and an exhibition from the 2nd of June to the 14th of October 2007 on the maritime heritage of the Yeu island.
In summer La Chabotterie hosts carriage rides, the Festival «Musiques à la Chabotterie», and in free guided tours in period costume for child aged 6 to 12.
Audio-guide tours of the rooms at no extra charge.
