Museum in Fontenay le Comte
Fontenay le Comte
I had drove around the town three times trying to find a sign post for the small village we were renting a farmhouse at.
We did manage to find the farmhouse two hours later some 6 miles outside the town.
The main street in Fontenay
Where they hold the weekly market
Fontenay is a very old market town in the vendee region of France.
Every saturday they hold a street market you can see it in the above picture.
It goes all the way down the hill to the river vendee and some of the side street as well.
The market sells a wide range of goods we bought a handmade basket at a very reasonable price.
We stocked up on fresh vegetables,chicken and cheese all at lower prices than UK.
All this and free parking the car park we used is at the top of the hill see photo.
If you want more shopping take the first right turn at the top of hill.
There is a very large hypermarket, garden centre and the usual supermarket stores plus cheap petrol and diesel.
The prices here are much cheaper than the channel ports less tourist.Places to eat in the town a guide to the most popular restaurants
The street market
Things to do take the walking tour and see a thousand years of history half timbered houses the Notre Dame church climb the bell tower.Just a short drive way is the Abbey Nieul-sur-l'Autise post code 85240 you can see how the monks used to live and work try the restaurant.
Fontenay is a good base to tour the Vendee region.There are lots of small villages to explore
It is about 50 miles to the coast.
We visited the Port of La Rochelle and the seaside resort of LES SABLES D'OLONNE. Les Sables as a good beach and a small zoo.
On our next
visit to the Vendee we will stay on the coast.
