Vineyard and vault in Chantonnay
La barbinière - -Chantonnay
02 51 34 39 72

Our family estate is located in the heart of the Vendée Bocage. The vineyard of 30 hectares is distributed on the slopes of the Lay in Chantonnay.

In addition to a diversity of soils, we enjoy an oceanic climate and a privileged sunshine.

Our wines have other ambition than to reflect our terroirs, our grape varieties and the work of men. They are the result of manual work and vineyards cultivated with respect for the environment.

Geographic location

The estate is located in the heart of the Vendée near the Atlantic Ocean. The vineyard, under oceanic influence, enjoys the highest temperatures in the Loire Valley.

Its main originality is the diversity of terroirs linked to fragmentation (Fiefs). There are four of them on the highest Lay de Vendée slopes, which contribute to the complexity of our wines.

Direct sale

From March to December :

Monday to Friday : 14h30-18h

Saturday : 9h-12h30 / 14h30-19h

A family, a passion…

… a know-how, a signature

The history of the Vignoble dates back to the Gallo-Roman period. The clay-limestone hill on which our vines are planted was once an island. By visiting our Domaine, you will notice that from the cellar, one benefits from an exceptional point of view on the whole marsh poitevin, formerly covered by the sea.

The Mercier family has been dedicated to the wine-growing tradition since 1890. The development of the Domaine is closely linked to the activity of the Winegrower for whom family know-how is universally recognized.

Faymoreau
02 51 00 48 48

Discover the history of the Faymoreau mines (accessible SITE PMR, visual and auditory), an industrial site in Vendée 1827-1958.

The village of Faymoreau nestles discreetly and in peace in a green setting, at the bend of a small departmental road.

A bucolic universe, paradise for fishermen with its pond lined with small pontoons and wooden huts full of charm. A mining village where time seems to have stopped when you stroll through the small streets marked with rope, flanked on each side by houses all identical, with windowsills or door sills delicately flowered.

One day in 1827, a modest saboteur discovered, while digging a well, a coal seam. From there begins for the entire region of Faymoreau, a great adventure that will last 130 years (1827 to 1958). People from here and elsewhere, united by courage and solidarity, arrived in the mining basin to extract the "black gold" of the time.

Men, their sons and grandsons descend into the bowels of the earth at the risk of their lives.

The headframes shape the bocager landscape. Companies such as glassware and power plants are emerging to consume coal. The workers' village, organized by the Société des Mines a few steps from the old village, developed with the construction of the corons, the management, the chapel, the schools… On February 28,1958, the mine closed permanently. Today, mining history cannot be forgotten. The corons are still inhabited and the workers' gardens cultivated, the stained glass windows of Carmelo Zagari illuminate the Miners' Chapel, the museum located in the former dormitory of the glassmakers brings back the glorious industrial past of the Faymoreau mining basin.

Guided tour of the inhabited part of the Château de Terre Neuve, classified as a historic monument, splendid work of the xvth century, in the heart of its large park, overlooking the city of art and history of Fontenay-le-Comte.

In this jewel of the French Renaissance, he received illustrious characters including the Duke of Sully, and Agrippa d'Aubigne.

In the nineteenth century, the Château de Newfoundland is owned by the famous Octave de Rochebrune, a famous aquafortist.

He made 492 etchings in Newfoundland and will be considered by some as "the Piranese of his time".

The castle is renowned for its Alchemical fireplace, its coffered ceilings of carved stones, its woodwork from Chambord Castle, suns gilded with gold leaf from King Louis xiv's room, the cabinet door of King François 1er.

You can admire paintings, furniture, collections and beautiful clothes from the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.

Welcome to one of the largest swamps in Europe !

Straddling Deux-Sèvres, Charente-Maritime and Vendée, the Poitevin Marsh, which covers 111,200 hectares, is France's second largest wetland area after the Camargue. The area is full of diverse natural habitats and exceptional biodiversity, and is a stopping place for many migrant birds…

The landscape mosaic of the Poitevin Marsh Regional Natural Park is unique, with the coastal area alternating between sandy beaches, dunes and forests, but also cliffs and mudflats on the Bay of Aiguillon side; the wet marsh and its famous Green Venice, a listed Great Site of France, where countless conches (narrow canals) and wider tree-lined canals can be seen; the dried marsh, with vast expanses of crops and meadows; and the edges of the marsh, with plains covered in cultivated fields.

A favourite destination for nature-lovers, the Poitevin Marsh is home to incredible wildlife ranging from the European otter to the European tree frog through the purple heron and the greater horseshoe bat. No fewer than 250 species of birds, 38 species of fish, 60 species of dragonflies and 80 species of butterflies are listed there!

To discover the charms of the wet marsh, a destination in the Poitevin Marsh that's highly prized by lovers of romantic getaways, nothing beats a boat trip in the heart of the mysterious Green Venice, on peaceful canals interwoven with greenery: you are guaranteed a change of scene, where trees and other plants form a kind of vault between water and sky! Many visitors to the Park choose to explore it on foot or by bicycle, to take the time to savour the beauty of the wild, unspoilt countryside at their own pace.

The Poitevin Marsh Park also boasts a rich water industry heritage, and invites you to discover its harbours, locks, hydraulic works, footbridges, fountains and washhouses. For more urban sightseeing, you have the choice between its charming, characterful little towns, such as Arçais, Coulon or Nieul-sur-l'Autise, and gateway cities like Fontenay-le-Comte, Niort, Luçon and Marans. Religious architecture enthusiasts, meanwhile, won't want to miss a chance to visit Maillezais Abbey and see its remarkable relics, a listed Historic Monument.

During your stay in the Poitevin Marsh, you should also make the most of the local gastronomy. Authentic and flavoursome, it gives pride of place to the products of fishing and shellfish farming, not to mention specialities such as farci poitevin, a delicious terrine of green vegetables, frogs' legs, snails, coypu and ham with mogette beans!

Priory of the twelfth century
Grammont - Saint-Prouant
02 51 66 47 18

Cultural Site of the Department of Vendée

In the heart of the Chassay forest, the Priory of Grammont is a miniature abbey in a green setting.

In the twelfth century, thanks to the numerous donations of the Plantagenets kings reigning over Poitou, a new monastic order was established, the order of Grandmont.

Around 1197, Richard Lionheart, very attached to this province, decided to continue the business of his father by founding a new grandmontain monastery. Thus the priory of Grammont is born, in the heart of the forest of Chassay, on the site of an old parish.

Soon, the monastery is supported by the community of Grandmontains monks, who apply the strict rule initiated by Etienne de Muret.

A haven of peace and greenery to enjoy on a boat ride...

Nestling at the heart of the Poitevin Marsh Inter-regional Park, between Niort and Aiguillon Bay, the Green Venice, or wet marsh, is a haven of peace to discover by foot, bicycle, boat or canoe. Located in France's second biggest humid zone, this protected natural area, full of peaceful, mysterious landscapes steeped in fairy-tales and legends, is a lovely place for daydreaming... Its mazes of secret canals, romantic narrow canals lined with duckweed, as well as its rows of ash trees, willows and poplars, give it a unique charm! An unmissable part of any stay in the Poitevin Marsh, Coulon, the capital of Green Venice, is a typical town with pretty houses, on the banks of the Sèvre Niortaise. It is the ideal starting point for a boat ride in Green Venice, and you will also find the House of the Poitevin Marsh there, an unmissable place for anyone who wants to get to know the history and secrets of this verdant territory.

You can also take a boat ride from the landing stages in the charming village of Arçais.

Two unmissable highlights: the traditional market on the water in Vanneau on the last Saturday in July, and the unusual rally in the marsh, the biggest nocturnal canoe-kayak event in France, departing from Coulon in the last weekend in June!

The end time of the observation is decided freely and individually by the trainees. In the summer, a night of observation can easily end at 4am, but everyone stops the observation when they wish. Hot drinks and "snacks" during the night are offered.

A two-day internship

Depending on the weather conditions and your trainee desires, the schedule may vary. Different themes can indeed be developed in these courses (History of astronomy, history of astronomical navigation, astrophotography, art and astronomy…). Presentation of the observatory and observation of the sky, weather permitting. The duration of the night of observation is free. If the conditions are bad, a projection / debate is organized in the barn.

Throughout history, artists have been inspired by the science of astronomy. This presentation proposes to (re) discover, with an astronomer's gaze, literary and poetic texts or graphic works dealing with the world of stars, but also to show how many artists have been at the service of astronomers.

2 mills with majestic wings on the heights of the Small City of Character of Pouzauges
Rue du terrier marteau - -Pouzauges
07 68 26 23 23

These two twin windmills spread their majestic wings on the heights of the Small City of Character of Pouzauges.

On the hills of Pouzauges, in a site with a remarkable panorama, are two windmills dating from the 18th and 19th century. They have a slightly frustoconical shape. They reach 8 m in height. The conical roof is 5 meters high and weighs 4.5 tons. The roof is mobile and is therefore simply placed on the body of mill. It can turn to move the wings of which it is integral.

The two mills turned for a century for the manufacture of flour. The industrial age is changing the situation with the emergence of mechanical mills. The Mills of the Marteau Terrier do not work as much or more at all. They could have fallen into ruins like all the other mills if the Fleury-Michon company had not bought the mills in the 50s. A person is then responsible for making them work. After a more difficult period, especially when the wings break in 2016, the mills turn again thanks to the investment and the motivation of the volunteers of the association "The Friends of the Twin Mills of the Marteau Terrier".

After 15 years of sleep, their majestic wings once again reach the heights of the city.

Wheat crushed at the mill becomes flour and some days the baker turns it into bread that he bakes in the wood oven for the happiness of the visitors.

The mini-farm captivates the children, while the biggest discover the wheat route and the life of the mills.

Allée Paul Bazin - Les Lucs-sur-Boulogne
02 28 85 77 77

Cultural Site of the Department of Vendée

The museum, which was founded on the banks of the Boulogne, is innovative and largely influenced by North American institutions. The museography was imagined and conceived by a service of the Departmental Council of Vendée : The Departmental Conservation of the Museums of the Vendée.

Five main principles have been retained for the design of this museum of a new kind :

Strong presence of interactivity and new technologies

"Desacralization" of the museum by the permanent alliance between knowledge and entertainment

Interest in very young children, considered a full audience

Theatricalization of the exhibitions and the art of the staging with a respect of the standards of conservation of the collections

Museography consisting of large architectural decorations, audiovisual projections, lighting and shows

In a constant concern for scalability, the architects have designed flexible spaces whose main element is a technical grill that overlooks museum spaces more than 6 meters high.

The Historial is the first French museum with such a device, like those found in television and movie studios.

A glance and astronomy workshop at the observatory
La grande Voye - Terval
06 78 32 77 67

The association "the Bêcheurs d'étoiles", with Olivier Sauzereau, proposes several formulas to discover the astronomy in an observatory built on the site of an old farm located in the Vendée hills.

A "glance" at the observatory

Very flexible and spontaneous, this formula allows you to discover a night for two consecutive hours the fairy world of astronomy in our observatory, guided by Olivier. A formula that allows you to organize at the last moment an unforgettable and original outing.

The reservation can be made the same day depending on availability and weather by phone. Do not hesitate to contact us !

An evening at the observatory

The arrival on the site of the observatory is ideally around 18h. Discovery of the observatory and presentation of the observation equipment. Observation of solar spots and flares with telescope and coronagraph (depending on weather conditions). An aperitif dinner is offered.

Projection on big screen and videoprojector hd on the astrophotographic work of Olivier Sauzereau and discovery of the history of the constellations.

At nightfall, observation of the sky from the observatory (depending on the weather conditions of course). If the sky is overcast, projections to learn the starry sky, the constellations and the history of the stars.

The end time of the observation is decided freely and individually by the trainees. In the summer, a night of observation can easily end at 4am, but everyone stops the observation when they wish. Hot drinks and "snacks" during the night are offered.

A two-day internship

Depending on the weather conditions and your trainee desires, the schedule may vary. Different themes can indeed be developed in these courses (History of astronomy, history of astronomical navigation, astrophotography, art and astronomy…). Presentation of the observatory and observation of the sky, weather permitting. The duration of the night of observation is free. If the conditions are bad, a projection / debate is organized in the barn.

Observation of the Sun with the telescope and the coronagraph. Presentation with projection on the history of astronomy, from ancient Greece to the present day. Handling old reconstituted navigation instruments. Presentation with projection on astronomy (solar system, extra-galactic world). Discovery of constellations and observation of the sky from the observatory. If the conditions are bad, projection of Olivier Sauzereau's film and Paul Cornet Voyage to the Black Sun. Observation of the Sun with the telescope and the coronagraph. - Presentation with projection "Astronomy, between science and art". Throughout history, artists have been inspired by the science of astronomy. This presentation proposes to (re) discover, with an astronomer's gaze, literary and poetic texts or graphic works dealing with the world of stars, but also to show how many artists have been at the service of astronomers.
