The French village of Vouvant
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 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 plus free parking.
There are a few shops, bars and a restaurant or two
