Palluau
|
Sud Vendee.. Haut Bocage.. Coastal Region.. Marais Poitevin.. Marais Breton.. Bas Bocage.. Plaine.. Marais Olonne..
This large and attractive village on the D978 and 8kms north of Aizenay, was during the middle ages, on the pilgrims route from Britain and Brittany to Santander in Spain.
A pleasant park with lake offers quiet walks as well as a play area for children. Behind the park the track takes you towards the Chateau de Palluau which was destroyed during Wars of the Vendee. The chateau is privately owned but you can view it across the small field. In 1661 it was listed as being unique in the Poitou with one of the finest gardens in France. Originally a six sided castle with a moat and two draw bridges, today one of the entrances is visible through the gate to the private residence.
