Aizenay is a small part of Vendée where history sometimes invites itself in surprising ways, like this forest where an American bomber crashed in 1944, leaving a memorial made of metal plaques telling the story of this epic. But Aizenay is also the peaceful countryside where nature stretches as far as the eye can see, between farms and wooded paths. The town has managed to retain this rural charm while being well connected to La Roche-sur-Yon, its larger neighbor. Here, past and present coexist with a small nod to troubled times, once a refuge for royalists on the run. In short, a village that whispers its secrets to those who listen.

Tight curve on the IM route.

Built in the second half of the 15th and in the 16th century by Louis de Beaumont, lord of Plessis-Macé in Anjou, the castle of Commequiers, now owned by the commune, was, like most of the castles of Bas Poitou, dismantled on the orders of Cardinal Richelieu in 1628, 6 years after the defeat of Soubise at Notre Dame de Riez and Saint Gilles. It was then the property of the La Trémoille, great Protestant lords. Throughout the Middle Ages, the lords of Commequiers exercised their administrative and jurisdictional influence over a vast territory. https://www.payssaintgilles-tourisme.fr/patrimoine-culturel/chateau-de-commequiers/

This pretty little village offers a rich heritage with its chapel built during the Vendée War. The Domaine des Iles suggests a gourmet break to discover the local wine (IGP Val de Loire). There is also a municipal campsite and a grocery store in the center.

Currently the castle is closed to the public, work is planned. Built in the second half of the 15th and 16th centuries by Louis de Beaumont, lord of Plessis-Macé in Anjou, the Commequiers castle, now owned by the commune, was, like most of the castles of Bas Poitou, dismantled on the orders of the Cardinal Richelieu in 1628. Octagonal in shape, with its 8 thick towers connected by curtain walls, the castle would have been built according to the model of the Bastille. To discover the castle in a fun way, the new treasure hunt “Théo and the secret of the Castle” is on sale (€3 per game for up to 3 participating children) in the tourist information offices of the Pays de Saint Gilles and at the Vélorail of Commequiers. It is suitable for children aged 8 to 13, duration: 45 minutes, on foot.

The first Apremont castle was polygonal. It was built in the 11th century on the promontory which dominates the Vie river and its valley. Rebuilt in the 16th century, it is today largely in ruins, but has preserved several imposing buildings. You can discover the history of this castle from the traces of the old medieval fortress to the Renaissance towers built in the 16th century. There are free tours as well as guided tours.
