The village of Vouvant

Vouvant is one of the prettiest villages in France it is in the vendee region a few miles from Fontenay.

We found it quite by chance just driving around i saw a sign in English which said the most beautiful village in France.

We had to turn off and have a look,the village is beside a river which flows round both sides and forms a natural defence moat.

There is some of the castle keep left standing see picture and some of the walls.

It was June 2008 when we visited a very hot day 90f but like a lot of rural france the village was deserted people only come back at the weekends.

It was nice to have the place to ourselves there a very old church some interesting little streets free parking.

There are a few shops, bars and a restaurant or two

This house in nearby La Châtaigneraie looks an interesting place to stay If you are visiting the area. I remember driving through the town at midnight looking for the gite we had rented. It is one of the reason I got a sat nav. It dose make finding places a lot easier
