Long before the discovery of electricity and the associated inventions, our ancestors discovered the possibility of harnessing the power of the elements—which, while useful on the one hand, could also be a threat as a force of nature—for various purposes.

Hardly any of them still fulfill their original functions today, but fortunately, some have at least survived as testimonies to ancient times.

Rabelais lived there like this for several years. The building suffered numerous destructions during wars and conflicts, it was even used as a quarry for building material after the Revolution. The remains which were able to be saved remain among the most remarkable in the Vendée department. It was estimated that the cathedral could be 105 meters long, 33 meters wide and stood at 60 meters high. Currently the ruins are only 25 meters high.
