Montaigu-Vendee

Montaigu-Vendée, whose central town of Montaigu has served as a market town in historic Bas-Poitou since the Middle Ages, lies on the Maine, a tributary of the Sèvre Nantaise. Medieval ramparts and the remains of Montaigu Castle recall a settlement shaped by defence as well as trade. Today’s commune was created in 2019 through the union of Montaigu, Boufféré, La Guyonnière, Saint-Georges-de-Montaigu and Saint-Hilaire-de-Loulay, linking several communities across the Vendée’s gently rolling interior. Its position between Nantes and La Roche-sur-Yon gives the town a practical regional role, while the older centre retains a compact scale.
