It is certainly along the Loire you will apprehend with more feeling one of the richest cities in ligériennes’ history. Standing on top of Mount Glonne, the abbey of the seventeenth century is a jewel of sobriety and elegance. Inside, a moving sculpture of David d’Angers adorns the tomb of General Vendéen Bonchamps. The abbey forecourt discovers a beautiful landscape on the Loire. A visit to the abbey Maurist is needed during exhibitions of the cultural season. St. Charles chapel also houses a Vendean general, Cathelineau and son.
