Logis de la Chabotière, featuring a scenographic area, escape game, walled garden and vegetable patch.
The final episode of the Vendée War took place on March 23, 1796 in the Bois de la Chabotterie, where General Charette de la Contrie was captured. In the kitchen of the Logis, a typical 16th-century Bas-Poitou dwelling, the original table bears witness to the passage of the wounded General Charette after his arrest. The Logis de la Chabotterie groups the dwelling and outbuildings around an enclosed courtyard. Furnished historic rooms reflect the atmosphere of 18th-century life. A scenographic space with giant screens, sound effects, virtual dialogues and an innovative mobile listening system: follow in the footsteps of Charette and the Vendée generals on a multimedia tour. An immersive experience to understand the reasons behind the war, the military strategies of both sides, the emblematic characters... The Domaine Départemental de la Chabotterie also boasts 48 hectares, including a walled garden, a kitchen garden and a pleasure garden (120 varieties of flowers). Stroll along the bridle path, discover the orchard, the plant maze... Don't miss the Floralies Internationales from May 17 to 26. July-August: horse-drawn carriage rides, tours.
