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 Chabotterie woods in this commune, where General Charette de la Contrie was captured. In the kitchen of the dwelling, 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 for 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... New for 2025: immersive summer show in the heart of the Logis, from July 8 to August 31. Concerts Musiques au Logis from July 15 to 31 (reservations on evenements.vendee.fr). Outdoor trails: "Discovery trail on the Chabotterie estate", "Charette's lost treasure", "Charette's last steps", "Les petits pas du Logis" and "Mission nature". Live an unforgettable experience with the escape game "La dernière Traque".

J'Y ai accedee en tant que peintre à la journée (concours artistique courant septembre) une journée d'excellence et qualité painting
C'est un fleuron de la Vendée ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
C'est en effet ce que le personnel d'accueil du site nous a expliqué quand nous n'avons pas pu y accéder cet après-midi. Nous avions pourtant consulté les horaires du site internet qui indique bien les horaires d'ouverture. Nous avons même appelé ce matin même et, sur le répondeur, les horaires d'ouverture sont renseignés.......
Mais pas de mention que les après-midis sont consacrés à une animation Spécial Noël sur réservation seulement.....
Nous sommes extrêmement déçus de l'accueil que nous avons reçu du personnel qui n'avait aucune considération de notre mécontentement et ni de nos deux heures de trajet défaussant toute la responsabilité sur le Conseil Départemental.
Un peu de professionnalisme sur le site internet est le minimum à attendre en 2025. Les grands sites privés de la Vendée savent très bien le faire.
J'ai eu la flemme d'écouter toutes les vidéos dans la première salle mais pour avoir pris le temps avec quelques-unes, elles expliquent clairement le contexte historique. La balade dans le jardin et jusqu'à la Croix de Charette, sous le soleil, est très agréable.
