L’Historial de la Vendée

Discover a museum unlike any other, the Historial de la Vendée, 45 minutes by road from the campsite. It relates nearly 7,000 years of History in the Vendée, from its geological formation and Prehistory up until the 20th century, taking in amongst others, the Antiquity period and the War of the Vendée (a Vendée uprising during the French Revolution), using both recreational and interactive means. An area of 300 m² is even given over to children, of all ages, to learn whilst having fun at the same time!

Château de Talmont

Step back in time at the Château de Talmont (a medieval castle in Talmont Saint Hilaire). A multi-faceted building. In summer, medieval shows bring the château to life and recount the histories of major figures of such times, such as Eleanor of Aquitaine and Richard the Lionheart. The most recent addition to the site has plenty of surprises. An “escape game” (with puzzles and riddles), in the underground passage of the château, will lead you in the steps of Richard the Lionheart who has, at that point, vanished. Upon the orders of Eleanor of Aquitaine, your task is to both find him and come out of the underground passage on time. This is a unique experience to share as a family in a place steeped in history!

The Cairn Prehistoric Site

Put yourself in the shoes of an actual member of the Homo sapiens species for a day, stepping back in time with fairly true-to-life representations at the Site Préhistorique du Cairn (Cairn Prehistory Centre). There are a multitude of activities to enable visitors to learn more about prehistoric practices. These include demonstrations of fire making, hunting, pottery workshops and even the displacement of menhirs! Take part in an archaeological dig session to discover more about those who came before us. A day rich in discoveries and sharing awaits you on this site.
