Charming little village with a pond to the south, accessible on foot, by a short hiking path, "le chemin des randonneurs".

The fate of the village of Faymoreau changed in 1827 when a modest clog maker discovered a seam of coal while digging a well. This discovery leads, two kilometers from the original village, the construction and then the development of a small mining town with its settlements, its management building (now the mining hotel, and now a restaurant), its chapel, its school, its allotment gardens, etc. People from here and elsewhere come to settle there to work in the mine. The exploitation of the deposit stops in 1958. The traces of this past remain with in particular the chapel of the Minors which was restored and redecorated with magnificent stained glass windows designed by the artist Carmelo Zagari.

Tucked away in the South East corner of the Bas Bocage of the Vendée is the old mining village of Faymoreau. This village was a thriving mining community from 1827 until it closed in 1958. Today this unique attraction will immerse you in the world of the Miner.
