Château de la Chabotterie

The Château de la Chabotterie is a manor house in Saint-Sulpice-le-Verdon with multiple furnished rooms displaying eighteenth-century living spaces with original furniture and household objects. The property also includes exhibition areas and multimedia displays that give visitors insight into different aspects of life during that period.

The manor was built during the period of the Ancien Régime and later became the site of significant events during the French Revolution. General Charette, a royalist leader, was captured here in 1796, marking a turning point for the region.

The estate displays exhibitions about the Vendée uprising, showing artifacts and documents that reflect how people lived during this regional conflict. Visitors encounter personal belongings and records that tell the stories of local inhabitants from that time.

Visitors can explore the estate through guided tours offered in French, with access to the manor, gardens, and exhibition areas. The site is open year-round, though closing days vary by season.

The property features extensive outdoor grounds with formal French gardens, including medicinal herb gardens and vegetable plots that show visitors how gardens were arranged long ago. The many different flower varieties grown there make it a place that looks quite different depending on the season.
