Curzon, French commune in the Vendée department, France.
This rural commune covers 5.93 km² at an average elevation of 8 meters, crossed by the Lay river and its branch, the Saint-Benoist river, which feed numerous canals throughout the territory.
Formerly a maritime port of the Pictons gulf, Curzon experienced notable growth in the late 19th century through agricultural and artisanal activities, and served as a castrum seat during the Middle Ages.
The 12th-century Saint-Romain church, a classified monument, reflects the commune's past religious influence with its 11th-century crypt featuring nine groin vaults supported by decorated columns with human faces and serpentine motifs.
The commune depends administratively on the Les Sables-d'Olonne arrondissement and the Moutiers-les-Mauxfaits canton, and is equipped with a rescue center along with a road bypass constructed in 1986.
Curzon annually celebrates the Foire aux poulains, established since the late 19th century, accompanied by cycling, equestrian and pedestrian rallies that perpetuate local rural traditions and community engagement.
