Travel Guide Montréverd

Montréverd is a fairly new commune. It includes the following communes: Mormaison, Treize-Voies and Saint-Sulpice-le-Verdon, the best known, given the historical events that took place there. Saint-Sulpice-le-Verdon owes the origin of its name to the patronage of a chapel dedicated since 1182 to Saint Sulpice, the bishop of Bourges - who died in 591. The nickname Verdon - Viridis: green, verdant - added to Saint-Sulpice comes from a meadow placed in the fief of Chabotterie, called "Pré Verdon". The history of Saint-Sulpice is essentially marked by the Vendée wars and more particularly, the capture of Charette on March 23, 1796 in the Chabotterie woods. The commune has a rich heritage with the Logis de la Chabotterie, a historical site of the Vendée wars, which we invite you to visit to learn about the history of the Vendée and the Vendéens. Another vestige, exposed in the Notre-Dame church, is the wooden statue of the Virgin Mary, called "miraculous", preserved during the burning of the church by the infernal columns on February 28, 1794. Another curiosity is the Chêne-Chapelle (La Petite Chevasse), an oak tree more than 1,000 years old in which a rustic chapel dedicated to Notre-Dame du Sacré-Coeur et de la Chevasse was built. Finally, the Cross of Charette, which is none other than the place of capture of the Vendéen general on March 23, 1796 (Vendée wars).
