Noirmoutier Chateau - Vendee
One of our trips when we were last in France was to the Noirmoutier Chateau. This wonderful building dates back to 12th Century and is filled with some interesting antiques, exhibits and displays.
The Chateau was built to protect the area from it's enemies being the Dutch, Spanish and of course the English. Throughout it's history the Chateau has played an important role. During the Vendee Wars the Chateau saw considerable action and later on served as a prison during World War One and Two.
The Chateau offers a great insight into the areas history and is well worth a visit for children and adults of all ages.
