great place

Outside the town of Montreuil-Bellay, along a railway line, this site hosted, from 1941 to 1946, one of thirty French concentration camps for “homeless individuals, nomads and fairground people, of the Romani type”. In other words for Roma, Gypsies, Manouches or Gypsies. Of this camp, all that remains now are stone steps, foundations, a cellar which served as a prison and a commemorative stele. These Gypsies, in entire families, came from a multitude of small camps opened following the law of April 6, 1940 signed by Albert Lebrun, last president of the 3rd Republic, a law which stipulated that these nomads had to be gathered in communes designated under police surveillance and which was applied with zeal by Vichy. Also interned in Montreuil were tramps arrested in the streets of Nantes at the beginning of the summer of 1942, and almost all of whom disappeared before the end of the winter that followed. The camp was not an extermination camp. The thousands of Gypsies interned there, around 1,500 at the height of the occupation, were not subsequently deported to German death camps. But living conditions there were deplorable. Fallen into oblivion after the war, this site was only recently rediscovered. And it was only in 2010 that the ruins of this camp were listed as a historic monument in order to prevent their total disappearance and make them a place of memory.

Atypical castle certainly but inaccessible to obtain the same point of view as that of the shared photos. The visit of this castle is possible but paying. 8€ which are certainly worth it. You still need to be aware, and know that your bike must remain in the parking lot during this period.

The Vaon Dolmen is an impressive 1.5m high and the chamber inside is 6m. The rock slabs are thought to come from the Butte de Saint-Drémont.

Imposing keep of the old fortress of Curçay, listed as a Historic Monument.

Castle built from the 16th century and which houses the Curios & Mirabilia contemporary art collection as well as temporary exhibitions. The park is accessible free of charge, the castle can be visited all year round.

Traces of Curçay/Dive's warlike past, this imposing dungeon is the only remnant of the fortress built by Huet de Curçay in the 14th century. The fortress was one of the centerpieces of the defense of the Loudunais country against the English invasion during the Hundred Years Wars.

Atypical castle abandoned then taken over since 2017! The vegetation has regained its rights and leaves unusual views!
