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".

Décevant par les énigmes et par l'intrigue. Vous sortirez vainqueur puisque ce n'est pas chronométré.
Il fallait s'en douter, le département de la Vendée nous colle l'histoire des méchants républicains qui massacrent les gentils royalistes. À la fin, il faut reconstituer le puzzle du vitrail qui s'illumine par la grâce de Dieu (bah oui, on est en Vendée!). Il faut évidemment reconstituer le cœur vendéen (c'était logique!).
Heureusement que le game master est sympa.
