The village of Vouvant the castle keep
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 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 plus free parking.
There are a few shops, bars and a restaurant or two
If you’re looking for a truly unique travel experience in the Vendee region, then a visit to the village of Vouvant is a must. Located in the heart of the region, this charming medieval village is a great spot for tourists to explore.
The village of Vouvant is a small but picturesque village, surrounded by rolling hills and valleys. The traditional architecture, cobbled streets, and ancient stone walls all contribute to the village’s charm. Visitors can take a leisurely stroll along the main streets, taking in the old-world charm, or explore further and wander through the winding alleyways.
The village is home to a number of interesting attractions, such as the 12th century Church of St. John and the Museum of Crosses. The museum showcases a unique collection of crosses from different eras, including a rare example of a medieval cross. The village also has a number of shops and cafes, perfect for picking up souvenirs and enjoying a bite to eat.
